Shell command under Windows Vista

[Robert Mileski]

Hi all,

I have a tiny problem with a vba code under Windows Vista. I need a way to
start a program using the shell command or something else like this:

shell("updater.exe", 1)

The problem is, that this is actually an updater program, which has to be
started in Administrator mode. Now, when I try to start it like in Win Xp
the user doesn't get the UAC Window asking him if he wants to continue
starting the program. The Shell command doesn't do anything.

Anybody has an idea how can I accomplish this? (Starting Winword.exe under
Administrator privileges solves the problem, but this is of course out of
question)

Did the suggestion I gave to your duplicate post elsewhere help?

(Grrrr... Please don't multipost.)

No, it didn't..

It was actually a very funny suggestion Because the name of the file has
nothing to do with the UAC.

Anyway, I posted the solution in the other message

So one might think. One might, in such a case, be very wrong. <g>
