Running app from within VB

[tbuch]

I am developing an interface from which to call up other applications. Can someone please tell me the code to run an application from within VB program? I need the VB program to remain open while other app runs.
Thanx -- tbuch

You can just set it as a component as in :

set wd=New Word.Application
wd.visible=true
wd.documents.add
wd.selection.typetext "This is text in a word document"

This opens a document in word and writes the text to it.
