Question : How to retrieve error number and or message from osql run from command line

How can I retrieve the error number of an osql script run from the command line? What I am actually doing is creating a VB program that automatically runs scripts to update several databases. So, I am actually Shelling the code as if running from a command line. What I am really needing is for the osql command to send me back an error number to VB; however if I have to print the error to a file and read it from VB or something, that would be alright.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Unfortunately you cannot use the VB Shell function as it does not return a success or failure.  Instead you have a couple of options that I know of:
1. Use the run method in the WshShell Object:

As in (using late binding):
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run(Cmd, 7, True)
Set WshShell = Nothing

2. Use the ShellExecute API directly.  See here for a full discussion on the subject:
