Change To Specific Folder In DOS/CMD Window

[Hackster]

I know who to open up a command window from my app using Shell. Once in DOS, I know how to navigate to whatever folder I want. What I don't know how to do is open up a command window, from my app, that opens in a specified folder.

I would like my customers to click a button in my app and have it open a DOS command window in the folder "c:\AppName" - how would I do that?

The easy way is to change directory in VB, then do the Shell:

ChDir ("c:\test")
Call Shell("cmd", vbNormalFocus)
