I haven't done software development in a long time and have forgotten all my vb knowledge but I need to make this program that will load another one.

Basically I had a 3rd party program I need to load a specific application, but the application can't be renamed so I need to make a vb app that the 3rd party app will load which well in turn load the app I need.
So 3rdparty -loads-> vbapp -loads-> application

If you someone could suggest simple code on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

Shell is the statement to run an external program. In the VB app, if all you need it to do is run the last app     You can add arguments to affect what the window that opens is like: maximized, has focus, etc.

If I start a new exe project where do I put this? Form ~ Load? or General?

If the file I'm trying to load will be in the same directory as the exe I'm making can I just say:

Shell "filename.exe"
End

****where filename.exe is the file I'm trying to load up

nevermind I figured it out, it goes in Form1 ~ Load

Thanks for the help!
