Reply: (edit)There are three ways if running another programme from VB. The simplest and easiest is to used the Shell command. If you want more control over how the application runs use the ShellExecute API. For total control use the CreateProcess API. Instructions on how to use these different methods are available in either the VB help files or on Microsoft's Web site. http://msdn.microsoft.com/ Stuart
