Running another exe in my application

Hi!

I have a big problem - in my VB 6.0 application I would like to run another application, for instance the Office-products or AcrobatReader, and then use this "attached program".
How do I do this? I am a beginner so please answere so exactly as possible.
Saw another thread with a similar question, but I didn't understand the answeres.
Many, many thanks!

To have it embedded in your Application, use the OLE Control. If you want to load it up while your Application is running, use the Shell function.

Code:

---

' Shell Function
RetVal = Shell("C:\Command.com", vbNormalFocus)
