Q. Access HyperTerminal Using Shell Command? Can anyone show me some code that will access `hyperterminal` and the open an existing connection through code? A. The following should all be on one line with a space between HYPERTRM.EXE and /d. The "/d" is the commandline switch Hyperterminal uses when you double click on a ".ht" file. Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim RetVal RetVal = Shell("C:\Progra~1\Access~1\Hypert~1\HYPERTRM.EXE /d _ C:\Progra~1\Access~1\Hypert~1\john.ht", 1) End Sub (21-Aug-98 Dan ellis_d@hotmail.com
