How can I execute another program with parameters from a VB program I make? Like explorer, but a file in particular?

Yeah, but when I do that , I get told: Object required, and if I dont put the .com after command, then Type Mismatch. I need the path for command, right? But how to do that in Form Load?

I don't get it, but check this:

Dim File As String, Params as String

If Right(App.path, 1) = "\" Then

File = App.Path & "File.exe"

Else

File = App.Path & "\File.exe"

End If

Params = "" 'Your parameters here

Call Shell(File & " " & Params, vbNormalFocus)

welcome.
