Command Button And CMD Prompt

I was just wondering if there was any way to create a command button
that when clicked will launch a cmd prompt and automatically paste the
value of a field into the prompt?

Thanks for you hellp

Shell "cmd /k dir", vbNormalFocus

does what you describe. But it also carries out the dir command, ie,
the directory contents of the current directory are listed.

Shell "cmd /k cd \", vbNormalFocus opens the command window at the root
directory.

There are many switches for cmd. They can be reviewed with
Shell "cmd /k cmd /?", vbNormalFocus
