Calling An exe from VB

[Barrow66]

How can one call another exe application from a visual basic environment using command line ?

Wrong forum, but have a look at:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long)

This might work also (depends on the EXE you want to execute)

Public Sub RunFile
Dim SomeVar as Variant

SomeVar = shell(Path & EXEFilename)
exit sub

To run an EXE (Some.EXE) which is located in the same folder as your VB6 app,:

Public Sub RunFile
Dim SomeVar as Variant

SomeVar = shell(App.Path & "\SOME.EXE&quot
exit sub
