[continued] What I would like to know from MS (Don are you listening?) is why WIN87EM enters into the equation at all on a computer that *HAS* a math-co??? Maybe if we can get an answer to that question, it will lead us to a solution of this problem. CONCLUSION: To anyone reading this message. If you use the Shell command to access a DOS program, please be advised that isolated and potentially unsolvable problems might occur. The problems do not seem to be directly related to the Shell command or the DoEvents command, but rather something in VB, or possibly, but unlikely in Win3, that just doesn't work on a few 386 computers with math-coprocessors that are running in Standard mode. Well that's my best shot and I'm afraid it missed the target by a wide margin. KeithF There is 1 Reply.
