I am writing a script to create user accounts in active
directory in vb6. i am trying to use cacls.exe, or
xcacls.exe to set permissions on each users home
directory. i want cacls or xcacls to export its results
to a text file, so that i can make a log of users whose
permissions did not get set. the output to a text file
part works great from the command line, but when i try to
call it from vb, i get nothing, does not even make the
text file. does anyone know anything about this?? here
are the lines of code that i use to call cacls.exe:

Call Shell("cacls " & usr.HomeDirectory & " /t /e /c /g "&
usr.UserName & ":C")
Call Shell("cacls " & usr.HomeDirectory & " >C:\log.txt")

of course they aren't spaced on diffrent lines like that
any help would be appreciated!!
