RScript.exe and map directory issue

Not on Windows so I can't test, but I imagine you need to escape the
space: try this:

Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe C:\Work\Latest\ 1\_Test.R", vbHide)

The backslash character does not escape anything in the shell in Windows.  You need to make sure that filenames/paths with spaces are surrounded by double quotes.  So try something like

Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe ""C:\Work\Latest 1\_Test.R""", vbHide)


Hope this is helpful,

Dan
