I may be wrong because VB may be different from VBA, but I think you use the shell command. VBA will return a double that represents Procomm's task ID.
Dim PWTASKS
PWTASKS = Shell("C:\Program Files\Procomm Plus\programs\PW5.EXE", 1)
You can probably include other arguments as you would from the command line. Robert Harris

Robert is correct. The shell command is used in VB to launch an executable file. But if you need your VB app to wait on the shelled app to finish executing...well that's a whole other ballgame.
