CreateObject and Win7

[atxstl]

Hi, I'm trying to execute the following line of code. It was compiled on XP, and works on XP, but does not work on Windows 7

    Dim shell
    Set shell = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
    shell.run "myfile.bat"
    Set shell = Nothing

Any advice? Thanks.

Your code is running for me under Vista when I substitute 'myfile.bat' with 'notepad.exe'.

Personally I would not dim shell because Shell clashes with the name of a built-in VB6 Function, have you tried diming it with a different name.

Are you getting any error message.

I wonder if the program is in the Programs folder?

It might be a file virtualization side effect.
