For just opening an application, you can use
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start().
Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, etc.) expose an object model
that gives you more detailed control over them. E.g., you can use VB or C#
to start Excel, open a particular workbook, do something with the workbook,
and then shut Excel down.
