Using the Function below to call a batch file which will run an FTP script I wrote. The ftp batch file and script run great when I run the batch file from my shared f drive but when I use the shell command below it looks to run the ftp script from my local C drive my documents folder which is where I stored the ftp batch and script before I moved them to my f drive. Do I somehow have to point to the f drive in the function below or in the script or batch file? I’m clueless. Thanks…

p.s. I’m calling the function using run code in a macro.

Function CallFTPRun()
On Error GoTo CallFTPRun_Err

Dim retval
retval = Shell(“F:FTPFTPFeed.bat”, vbMaximizedFocus)

CallFTPRun_Exit:
Exit Function

CallFTPRun_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume CallFTPRun_Exit

End Function

I got it figured out. I had to change directories in the .bat file. Something stupid on my part. Thanks again..
