Running a program

[hellven]

Hello!

How would I go about running a program located at a specific location on my hard-drive upon the click of a button?

I found this code on the internet for runing notepad:

Dim objShell
objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run("notepad")

How would i do that if the application has a specific path?

Give the following a try:

Dim p As System.Diagnostics.Process = New System.Diagnostics.Process()
p.Start("c:\winnt\notepad.exe")

The Start method of Process class is Shared, you don't have to create an instance to use it, and generally you don't create an instance of a class unless you have a specific need for one. Usage example:

Process.Start("c:\folder\app.exe")
