Run Executable

[khanjan_a2k]

I want to run an outside .exe file from my program. How can i do that?

[Khalefa...@]

Private Sub Command1_Click()
'IE For Example
Shell "C:\Program files\interNet Explorer\IExplore.exe", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Shell "c:\YourFolder\YourFile.exe"
End Sub

I prefer using ShellExecute as it has more options

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, "c:\hack.exe", vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub

Either one, however, will work.
