• Need help on Shell in Excel

    From Robert Baer@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 12 19:36:36 2018
    Full program as-is below. Excel 2010.
    Shell refuses to work (PC not MAC), always get error "File not found"
    no matter how i mangle that line.

    Naturally, there is NO "help" as this is M$ we are talking about.

    Sub TestDIR()

    ' Macro recorded 04/12/2018 by ROBERT BAER
    '
    destPath = "G:\ANALOG"
    DaTm = Date$ + " " + Time$
    Open pPath + "Log.TXT" For Append As #1
    ' error "File not found" any variant of Shell.
    pState = Shell("DIR *.* > LOOK.DIR", vbNormalFocus)
    'QB3 FORMAT is SHELL "DIR *.BMP > LOOK.DIR"
    Stop
    Print #1, DaTm + " to " + vNam
    Close


    End Sub

    Help?
    Thanks.
