Hello ErroR
Try using the command shell. for your example
shell "calc, vbNormalFocus"
The calc is the name of the calculator (actualy calc.exe)
The vbNormalFocus is that you want a focus on the specific application that is lunched.
Similar to the calulator you can execute any program as long as you know it's path or you may skip the path part if you know that the file exist in the system's path (like calculator or the note pad)
I hope this will help you
