Shell will open Exe format Files through VB coding.... Ok
Shell will open Exe format Files through VB coding.... Ok
Ok, it works with exe files, but when I have assigned dura.apr lotus approach it doesnt work, or when I have assigned specified .doc file or draving and photo (I need all that there) I hink that I need some kind of recognision of file type and appropriate software. I cannot assign folder as well like in hyperlink in excel (when you specify path Y:\Sales Files\Quotes Masters then it (excel) opens this folder, I want to do the same in visual basic)
One more thing, I have forgotten how to compile visual basic file into .exe file, I have new visual basic 2005 express edition, hould I select it somehow at the begining? I was using vb 3 years ago and I have forgotten everything :(
many thanx for all your help.

You want Make EXE of VB6 or VB2005
I want to make an exe file in visual basic,kind of linking software. When I will click on it I will have a window with several buttons. When I will click on button autocad then I will go to autocad.exe, but still the program will be running so If I want to go to lotus approach file then I just click approach button, when I want to go to sales folder I just click on sales folder button and additionally an exit button to finish and close this vb application. I did it all in excel and it works as hyperlinks perfectly, but I want to have it in window with nice buttons that is why I choosen visual basic. It was so easy to do those hyperlinks in excel, so I expected that I will just draw button click on it and write path in visual basic. I hope you can understand now better and help me.
cheers

in Shell you can Open Exe format files only and if you want to open other file format like word or Exel etc.,., you have to bind .dll files to open through VB.
