I haven't received any real hits on this when I have been searching online.
Does anyone know what the following runtime error means. I am running it
from vb6. I assume this is an sql thing and not really a vb thing.

The request for procedure 'xp_cmdshell' failed because 'xp_cmdshell' is a
procedure object.


Thanks

Please throw your code in newsgroup for better understanding.
We don't have time for making guesses.

I think the problem has to do with the type of stored procedure. I can call
any other stored procedure I have tried through vb6. If someone else gets a
chance can they try calling the xp_cmdshell from a vb6 app and let me know
what happens.
