Following is a true copy of Windows VP SP3 EXCEL 2010 program where each
attempt is seen,
line begins "pSTATE.." and commented out for next attempt.
NO previous suggestions worked.
Sub TestDIR()
' Macro recorded 04/12/2018 by ROBERT BAER
'
pPath = "G:\ANALOG"
DaTm = Date$ + " " + Time$ 'Present date and time example: 04-12-2018
18:14:36
Open pPath + "Log.TXT" For Append As #1
' DAMN "default" directory "My Documents" is used
'' This gives "File not found"
' pState = Shell("DIR *.* > LOOK.DIR", vbNormalFocus)
'' So..try Command
' pState = Shell("command *.* > LOOK.DIR", vbNormalFocus)
'' This gives "File not found"
'' So..try Command.com
' pState = Shell("command.com DIR *.* > LOOK.DIR", vbNormalFocus)
' Well, get empty "DOS" screen with zero info and see nothing when type.
' Results wind up in DAMN "default" directory "My Documents" where new
file
' LOOK.DIR contains QUOTE
'Specified COMMAND search directory bad
'Too many parameters

'' So, try a mod..
' pState = Shell("command.com < DIR *.* > LOOK.DIR", vbNormalFocus)
' Well, get empty "DOS" screen for about 0.5 seconds.
' Results wind up in DAMN "default" directory "My Documents" where file
' SiteBuilder.DOC got stolen from somewere (foolishly thought was copy
' and deleted it and info is now lost).
' Repeat attempts gave NO files.
'' So, try a different mod..
pState = Shell("cmd.exe < DIR *.* > LOOK.DIR", vbNormalFocus)
' Well, get totally different screen 80 characters by 25 lines
' Screen shows QUOTE
'Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

' And NO files.
