[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Running simulation using VB

["gadolio2002" <gadolio2002@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the response Edwin. I've already tried to follow the documentation, but it seems that when I execute the command to run the simulation using the Shell function, it doesn't pass the input file name to E+ batch file (the simulation initiates but stops soon sfter because no input file was specified)?

Thanks Again.
