Hi Costas, Well Ted found the perfect work around to the shell problem. Just disable the command button while the shell command is executing. I found another work around that I thought I'd mention so you can add it to the collection of bizarre VB behaviors. Command1_Click() '''On Error Resume Next For i% = 1 To 5 x% = Shell("c:\command.com /c dir c:\*.*",1) y% = DoEvents() '''a! = 1 Next i% End Sub The above code causes a UAE. But if you uncomment the a! = 1 statement, you get an illegal function call at that line. BUT, if you uncomment the On Error Resume Next, the illegal function call is bypassed *AND* the UAE's don't occur either! Isn't that a hole in the boat!<g> So now I guess I can get back to looking at the new AutoCAD QuickBASIC Interface. KeithF There is 1 Reply.
