How do I get a program to launch another program.

[looking-for-VB]

I am new to VB. What is the code to get one program to launch another program/file?

The program I want to launch is called: "start". It is a BATCH file.

Thanks

Please Reply! I've been waiting FOREVER!

simple form

    Dim p As New Process
    With p.StartInfo
        .FileName = "C:\Path to start.bat\start.bat"
    End With
    p.Start()

Also you should look at this Process Class

You could also use process.start.

Process.Start("program.exe")
