Starting the Client in VB

[SkipVought]

I did not realize that there are TWO AttachMate Forums. I already posted in the MIN/IT area and now in the Programmers'.

I have interited a screen scraper application in an Excel Workbook. I have already learned some things by examining the code and by reading several postings and FAQ99-4069.

Is it possible to start the Extra!Personal Client from VB?

It seems that all the posts I have read, assume that the client is active.

I have tried using a Shell command to open the client

    Dim result
    
    result = Shell("C:\Program Files\E!PC\Sessions\Mainframe.edp", vbMaximizedFocus)

but I get an error message
[highlight]Invalid procedure call or argument[/highlight] with or without the second argument.

Skip,
