VBS vs VBScript "Shell" issue

[SmallCraig]

I have a VBA program (macro running in Outlook) which happily (i.e., successfully) executes the following code:

Shell ("M:\Program Files\HPCOMMS\HPCOMMS hp;setyymm")

However, when I attempt to run similar code from VBScript:

set Shell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Shell.run "C:\Programs\HPCOMMS\HPCOMMS hp;setyymm", 1, True

I get the error:

The system cannot find the file specified.

with the error code 8007002.

For clarification:
"HPCOMMS" is a compiled VB program;
the string

hp;setyymm

is a command line parameter for the program.

The syntax is correct as far as I could find out, but maybe there is something wrong in there. Hopefully something simple?!

You are pulling one from the M drive and one from the C drive. Is that a typo?

sfvb,

Thanks for the speedy reply - someone's on the ball!

No, it's not a typo, and here's the history. I'm running under a Citrix server environment (Terminal Services stuff, if you're not familiar), and the "programs" drive is the "M:" drive. However, I tried running the program from "M:", and had the same error as I reported in the original post (I'd actually forgotten about it, so I just quickly tested it - same error). I then put the same program under my own "C:" drive, and have been trying it from there.

You know, I've looked at that code a dozen times, and didn't notice the different drive letters!

Thanks for your attention, and I hope I'll hear from you soon,
