I have a program that prints to the screen. From a DOS window, or with a BAT file I can redirect the data to a file via the following command "Path Arg1 Arg2 >Filename. But, when I execute the BAT file from a VB program, using either Shell or FollowHyperlink, the output file is created or recreated but remains empty. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
