Invalid procedure call or argument

[Terry]

Hi. We had a in-house program that use a PRINTLBL.EXE to print label in DOS mode. after the label was printed, Window XP will issue the error message ( Invalid procedure call or arguments ). But if use under Window 95 or Window 98 it will work fine with no error.

the code we use is as follow

LabelPN = App.path & "\LabelTmp.txt"
Open LabelPN For Output As #1
Print #1, strLabel
Close #1
AppActivate Shell(App.path & "\PrintLBL.pif", vbNormalFocus)

Thanks for your help.

This is a VB.NET group. Please turn to one of the VB Classic groups
(microsoft.public.vb.*). Notice that the path passed to 'Shell' will be
invalid if the application is installed on the root of a drive.
