running an executable from VB

[maelkyzzydec]

During the execution of my vb program I would like to run an executable that I have on my C drive. What code can I use to cause the VB program to run a seperate executable stored under the name DoSomething.exe

thanks

shell "c:\dosomething.exe"

Be sure to put that in an error catching block:

On Error Goto Nooooooooooooo
Shell "c:\dostuffdarnit.exe", vbNormalFocus
Exit Sub ' or Exit Function
 
Nooooooooooooo:
Msgbox "NEXT TIME RUN A PROGRAM THAT EXISTS, YOU DUMMY!"
