VBS Objshell.run not executing "%COMSPEC% /c ping " & MyObj & " >>" & ReportFileNAme - redirect

Question

The code is supposed to execute some ping and tracert commands to a file, then email the file. Instead it creates a BLANK file.
I tried redirecting from Objshell.EXEC but the pop-ups windows that pop up are annoying and steal focus; and I want this to run periodically in the background using Task Scheduler.
The generated syntax looks like this (And works when pasted to command line):
%COMSPEC% /c ping speedtest.advance2000.com >>c:\temp\testforteresa2-foo#bar-2014-01-08__10-01.txt
The resultant command string works when pasted into a CMD> window but the tests in excel and in the executed VBS it yields a blank file...
Wouldn't mind having a wait state to check for the email to be sent so it could delete the txt file. Will figure that out later :)

Your
Set reportfile = objfso.OpenTextFile(ReportFileNAme, ForAppending, True)
opens the file named ReportFileNAme. The .Run
"%COMSPEC% /c ping " & MyObj & " >>" & ReportFileNAme
then asks the OS to write to that open file. Try to skip the creation of reportfile.
