Running a Windows command in VB

[djavis]

Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to run a regular window's command directly from a VB code like:

cd My Document
md New


Also i want to know if i can use a field's value from an Access form in the command like:
md "CaseID" (where CaseID is the value of the field).

Thanks !

Sure it is. What version of VB?

You can use the following Windows APIs to run the external commands in VB6.

1. WaitForSingleObject
2. CreateProcessA
3. GetExitCodeProcess
4. CloseHandle

If you are not able to make it, i can provide you the code

Wow thanks !

I'm pretty new with the VB stuff so it will be great to have your code.

I want to have a code that will create for me a folder under a known path (let's call it ROOT). the folder's name should be like a certain field value in my form (let's call it CaseID_Value).
So it should be something like:

CD ....\ROOT
MD Forms![Create][CaseID_Value] where "Create" is the name of the form which i want to take the "CaseID_Value" from.

I really appreciate your help !!!

Thanks !
