    Do you mean start a VB app? That would be the Shell command.

    From VBA Help File:
    VB Code:
    1. ' Specifying 1 as the second argument opens the application in 

    2. ' normal size and gives it the focus.

    3. Dim RetVal

    4. RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE", 1)    ' Run Calculator
    Look it up, it's pretty straightforward. If the app is already open but not active, you can use the AppActivate command.
