Menu - Run exe file error

[jokerfool]

Is this still the command to load an exe from the menu?

Option Explicit
'Constants for use in 'shellexecute'
Const SW_NORMAL = 1
Const SW_SHOW = 5
    
'The shell execute API declarations
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
    
    
    'window thingy
    Private Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
    Private Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2

    Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
    Private Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
    Private Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
    Private Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
    
    'declare API
    Private Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
      ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal Y As Long, _
      ByVal cX As Long, ByVal cY As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long)

Shell "Update.exe"
Unload Me

This worked for me long before Windows 10, however when I run this command, I now get an error



Did I miss something?

If you declared "ShellExecute" then why not use it to open the external app?

ShellExecute Me.hWnd, vbNullString, "Update.exe", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_NORMAL

[fafalone]

Use the ShellExecute API instead of Shell.

Thank you. When did this change? Working now so thank you to you both.
