How do I open a app 1

[JackSES]

Can any body inform me on how to have a button open a application like Adobe Photoshop and other stuff from just click on a button.

Thanks for any advice

I would do a search on this forum for Shell().

That should turn up several examples.

Hope this helps

This one opens an .exe program from a VB form with a command button.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MyAppID = Shell("c:\Program Files\Your.exe", 1) ' Run All Reports
AppActivate MyAppID ' Activate Microsoft
End Sub
