This is not an app problem Bob, the program never runs. In any case, I've found a workaround for the problem, which is to issue two commands in one call to the shell. So tCommand now contains: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin" & diff.exe -i-E -b -B "" "" That works. Pretty clear LC is m

Bob, My latest post explains more about this - it's not the program name itself that causes the problem - it's the fact that I'm passing parameters into the program on the command line enclosed in quotes - that's what causes the error despite the fact that exactly the same command works at a Window
