shell

Hi again :)

let's say im calling a dos program
from the shell like this:

shell(myprog.exe value, vbHide)

The problem I have is that this dos
program asks for a confirmation that
the user must press Y or N

Anyone knows a way to put this somewhere
so that the dos program will get its
response automatically ?

Thank you

Not 100% sure about this with shelled apps....but you might wanna try the
SendKeys command.

Sendkeys "y"
