no i want to use the shell command but im making something wrong it doesent work the code that you see isent compled

i want to insert it to a command button and when the button gets klicked it execute the command with text1 text2 text3 :D

it's gonna be a problem because copy is a shell command and not a file, so it says file not found.

yes i know but i know that i can use batch commands when i use shell example shell "shutdown -s -t 60"
i need that to the problem is im making some mistakes cuz theres a lot & like you see

You know why that works? Because in the system32 folder there is a file named shutdown.exe, if there wasn't that file that command would not execute like the copy command!

So do you mean i cant use that command even if its a batch command ?

You can create a batch file using VisualBasic and then execute it. But you cannot run that command directly using the shell command.
