How do I call a VB executable from a VB program?

Example

Private sub cmdText1_click()
' Syntax to call VB program called myprogram.exe which is residing in a different directory or server.

End sub


Thanks,

Assuming this is a standard exe the call is Shell.

I tried your suggestion.

shell myprogram.exe

I got an error message "object required" and it is sitting on the line shell myprogram.exe.

Myprogram.exe is a VB Project which I turned into an executable file. Can anyone please help me how to go about calling or executing an executable file inside a VB Project?

Thanks,
Judy

I got it. Sorry. I forgot that I should be putting the file path too.

The use of the SHELL command is as follows.
   If it runs OK, dblRetVal is a unique number. If the .EXE fails, dblRetVal is zero and you can do some error trapping. The windows style vbMaximizedFocus is one of a few constants. See help for SHELL to get a complete list.

does this work if executable's folder is in system path, if yes can i update PATH variable of the system via VB's packagin & installation add-in's setup?
