I don't really know VB6 but I used google and found this which might help you..

Code:
Dim sYourCommand as String

sYourCommand = "\networkfolder\project\testfile.txt"

Shell "cmd /c " & sYourCommand

In this example, you would create a textfile which included a command that you want to run on the CMD.
sYourCommand = "\LOCATION\yourcommand.txt"
Next line of code would then open the cmd and run the command..

Alternatively you could just do

Code:
Shell("cmd.exe")

I'm not entirely sure this correct as I don't code in VB6 but I hope this helps.

Or if this doesn't work:

Code:
Shell "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"

Shell "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"

I think that is it Tongue

Not positive though.
