Hello, This is my first foray into windows programming. I have two questions I hope haven't been asked too many times. 1. Is there a way to call a dos command line program and pass it command line parameters from VB? Ideally it would either ignore the screen output from dos or trap it in the clipboard. 2. Where do I start looking for the proper way to call DLL's. I would like to use the netware.dll to write my own network utilities but have no idea where to look and how to properly access them from within VB. I am a rank beginner to any feedback would be appreciated. Regards, jpm There are 2 Replies.
