Welcome to Forums, GoA_TrancE!

Can you please be a little more descriptive.

[dark_shadow]

you mean a button that loads an ini file? what would the ini file load into? textbox?, label, table ? please explain more fully

[GoA_TrancE]

when i click on the button i wana just open a .ini file
i was try with shell "brum.ini", vbNormalNoFocus
but i got "Type Michmash"
now i think correctly

[RhinoBull]

Do you want to launch the file or read it and load settings into your application? You see you have to explain what you want to do clearly.

[dark_shadow]

i'm assuming he wants to open the file and read it

[RhinoBull]

Assumptions and Confirmations don't always match so let him confirm it first.

[GoA_TrancE]

i just wana open the file (launch)
any ideas?

[RhinoBull]

In that case here is the simplest code to begin with:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Shell "notepad c:\test.ini", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

[RhinoBull]

In case that doesn't work for you (I can't think about why not) then here is more robust api sample:

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
    (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, _
    ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
 
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "test.ini", vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub
