app.path and shell help

[compcad]

i am trying to start a program from within an other program
and the code i am using is:

DataPath = Mid(App.Path, 1, 17) & "rafflemaker\TB - LITE\TB - LITE.EXE"
DataPath1a = Right(DataPath, 14)
retval = Shell(DataPath1a, 1)

the path to the main program is:

c:\program files\rafflemaker\tb-lite\tb-lite.exe

the program that starts the main program has a path as such:

c:\program files\rafflemaker\start\start.exe

THANK YOU

Hi,

What about something like this...

retval = Shell("..\tb-lite\tb-lite.exe&quot
