invoking an application to execute

Friends,

i would like to run an application ( msword.exe) by clicking a command button. Can anyone suggest what to do...

thanx,
bo

From an ASP page?

i wanna do it in vb6 not in asp

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

thanks guys........

got it!
