But it gives me invalid procedure call or argument. I'm sure about pathName, I'm sure about the command, I'm sure about everything. What do you think might be the cause? vbscript hp-uft invalid-argument share|improve this question edited Aug 19 '15 at 8:50 Micha Wiedenmann 5,94763972 asked Jul 16 '15 at 13:07 AhmedWas 194111 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote If you look at the examples here, you'll see that the approved call is SystemUtil.Run pathName (passing pathName per reference) instead of SystemUtil.Run (pathName) (passing a const copy). Eric Lippert's essay should help you to understand the use of () in VBScript. Evidence: As I don't use UFT, I can only use .NET to demonstrate that the ()/parameter passing mode matters: >> Set m_oSB = CreateObject("System.Text.StringBuilder") >> aData = Split("a b c") >> m_oSB.AppendFormat_4 "{0}-{1}-{2}", (aData) >> WScript.Echo m_oSB.ToString() >> a-b-c >> m_oSB.AppendFormat_4 "{0}-{1}-{2}", aData >> Error Number: 5 Error Description: Invalid procedure call or argument >> share|improve this answer edited Aug 19 '15 at 8:51 Micha Wiedenmann 5,94763972 answered Jul 16 '15 at 13:23 Ekkehard.Horner 30k11934 Out of curiosity, what console (if any at all) are you using there? –Micha Wiedenmann Oct 16 '15 at 10:38 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote I have ran into the same issue. I had to write the full path name for the error to go away. example: SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", "www.google.com" I hope this helps you. sh

Invalid Procedure Call or Argument (Left, Mid, etc.) P: n/a mork I am so frustrated - any help is appreciated. When trying to use common functions like Left and/or Mid I get the following error: Run-time Error '5': Invalid Procedure Call or Argument In my searches it appears I am not the first, but the solution seems to be missing references. When I check my references, none are labelled as missing. I've removed all references and re-added them and the error persists. I am using Access 2000 on Windows XP. I uninstalled Office 2000 and reinstalled, but it did not resolve the issue. Any suggestions? -- email: my*****@canada.com // my_nick = mork Nov 12 '05 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 6 Replies P: n/a TC er, show some code? TC "mork"
