I am about to complete an application (appointments) However, I would obviously like it to execute for the user, on the click of an icon, or by selecting from a list, rather than opening V.B.6 software, and clicking the 'video play' button, or the 'Run' command. Any help, much appreciated.

You must compile it to an executable file.

thanks woodyz - I take it that just means, when saving the project, I put an .exe extension on the file, instead of or, and, the normal .vbp. Thanks, Liam.

No. You compile it by building it. You do this from the File menu, and select the Make item. This will compile the code into an exe. Just naming the VBP file extension to EXE will not do it.

hello making your software run automatically is very simple.After compiling it into an exe, just make an autorun file using notepad.that is if you want it to run from cd automatically...
Just do it this way:


[Autorun]

Open = softwarename.exe
icon=icon.ico


And thats it.If not from cd just create an installer and give directory path to startup.

if you are not clear with it, dont hesitate to let me know..\take care..

Enjoy....
