Do you mean to just run it or to extract to to a directory??? If you are talking about just running it and letting the user specify the directory (or use the defult) i imagine you can use
Shell "c:\whateverdir\exename.exe", vbnormal focus
Cease
All i want to be able to do is click on the unzip button i created and it will automatically open the executable file that is all i need it to do.
thx all
Yes the Shell will work for what you want to do. If you want to automatically unzip the file for them, you could use the SendKeys function to control what Winzip does.
