I've got an old Visual Basic for DOS front end program that SHELL's to DOS and runs a QBASIC program and some bat files and then returns to the main screen.<br>
When a try this in Visual Basic 6 with the same SHELL command it runs the QBASIC program but minimizes the run and it doesn't return to the main screen when complete. <br>
What is the specific command in VB6 to SHELL to DOS ( preferably run the DOS programs in the backround ) and then return to the main VB6 screen?<br>
Current VB for DOS example: SHELL "myqbprog.exe"
