    How can you make a command button open another .exe? For example, is I wanted a button that when clicked would open the windows calculator. Thanks in advance!

    in windows NT/2000 use this line

    Code:
    Shell "C:\WINNT\System32\calc.exe"

    If you're not using windows NT/2K then you'll have to use the Command Line. Using the Shell command is exuivilent to selecting Run from the start menu and typing in the String after the Shell Keyword
