Calling fortran exe from vba

[rafaeltini]

i'm rtying to call a fortran exe from vba, but for some reason it doesn't start, but if i use it independent it works fine.
this is what i'm using to call.

retval = Shell("E:\Tini\Teste\sintese2.exe", 1)

the sintese2.exe should read an text file generated by excel, then, when the progran start it requires some user interaction on fortran.

any thoughts??

Wouldn't advise starting a program which requires user interaction from another program. If programA starts programB, programB will expect its input from programA and not from the console.
