Resolved the piping issue by creating a batch file and calling that
directly.
Messy but it works.

I want to be able to shell to DOS to pipe the contents of something to a
file which can then be read in by VB.
Example
Shell to DOS and then run ROUTE PRINT > FRED.TXT
return to VB and then open fred.txt to do sometning with that.
My attempts have so far failed as no piped file has been generated
whereas it works directly from DOS.
You'll have to start "cmd" (or "%COMSPEC%") instead of your application
because the '>' feature is a feature of the command shell. You can pass
the command string to "cmd" in the command line.
