If I remember correctly, you can use the "shell" command in VB6
For example:
Sub Button_onclick
Shell (C:\....(path of MSword)..\MSword.exe)
End Sub

make use of the following function.


Option Explicit

Public Function RunExe(ByVal Filename As String) As Long
On Error Resume Next

Shell Filename

'return the error if any
RunExe = Err.Number

End Function
