run programs within VB

[saharon]

how can I run programs within VB
I want to run winamp with a specified song but with the shell command I can only use 8.3 file name format
thanks

Here:

Shell "c:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe ""<FileName>"""

you extra " 's are because the file could have a space so if you did:
...winamp.exe C:\MyMp3\Blink182 - What's My Age Again"
it'ld load all the seperate words as songs! You can also load a directory by doing:
...winamp.exe C:\MyMp3"
Good luck,
