Running another exe in my application

[bi the bird]

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!
