I don't know VB, but I'm assuming the shell command is the way to go. Show us the command you're using and the error message or behavior your getting. I would say you need to work up a full path to the interpreter, followed by the full path to your script, followed by the arguments, like this: "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\path\to\myscript.pl foo bar baz" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
