Hi guys I have a CMD file that is run from VBA. Inside this CMD file are lines like: Echo blah blah blah >> LogFile.txt All good and pretty basic - If I double click the CMD or BAT file the outputting to the log file via the '>>' works a treat. If I 'run' the CMD/BAT file from VBA then the file runs but the >> bits seem to be ignored. As a result the log file isn't created and (of course) there are no log entries. I have tried with CMD and with BAT files I have tried calling the BAT/CMD file a few ways from within VBA too. All no joy. Dim strFileToRun As String strFileToRun = Me.txtDeployFileToBuildPath ''strFileToRun = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\Run.bat" Dim retval 'retval = Shell(strFileToRun, vbNormal) Call fHandleFile(strFileToRun, -1) 'Call Shell(strFileToRun, 0) And so on Anyone come across this before? Many thanks in advance D
