Hey Guys,

I'm Trying to write a program in VB6 that runs another program.

Example:

In the program i'm writing there is a button labled "install MP3 program".

When this button is clicked, I want the install.exe file for the MP3 program to run.

How can I do this??

Thanks,
Tonya

Tonya,

You can use the VB6 Shell or ShellExecute functions... you can find the syntax in your book or online ;)

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "install mp3" 'message box
Shell "c:\mp3.exe" 'put the file name and exe program
End Sub
