    Shell "C:\mydir\myexe.exe", vbNormalFocus
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    digitalreaper, if you want to load more than EXEs, use the ShellExecute api function.

    Code:
    Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal _
lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal _
lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal _
nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Public Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1


Usage

ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "C:\myfile.exe", _
vbNullString, "c:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
