Bug Shell() Object

[Mike Sanders]

Code: Select all

Sub Main
    Shell("Calc.exe", 1)
End Sub

Syntax error...

You are confusing function calls and statements.

Use either:

returnValue = Shell("Calc.exe", 1)

Or:

Shell "Calc.exe", 1

[Mike Sanders]

Witness:

Shell("Calc.exe")

[martin-k]

Yes, that happens to work because it has only one parameter. "Print 1" is the same as "Print (1)".

shell ("calc.exe"), 1 would also work because you are just bracketing one of its arguments.
