How to start another exe at run time in VB6 program

[ANUD]

Hi,

I have a vb6 program (A) and I have to run another vb6 exe (B) in this program.
I need to know how do I code to automatically run B at command prompt while running program A.

Any help will be great.

Thanks

Hi, search this forum for Shell

Hi, search this forum for Shell

Unfortunately, you can't limit the search to a single forum, so you will probably find tons of irrelevant material. If so, try searching for multiple words, such as "VB Shell".

yes i saw your problem a bit lately
now iam not clear with ur doubt any how i shall explain you with wat i have understood
i think you have desighned two applications think 1 and 2
now you want to open exe2 from exe1 for that you need to develop an exe of application 2 once after that you need to call that exe like this
Private Sub button_Click()
Shell("c:\seshu\seshu.exe", vbMaximizedFocus)
end sub
and i have one more idea just as you have said that both the applictions are desined by you why dont you add a new form in application by call the form the application you want on doing so a new copy of that form is created here in this project and on the button click you can open that form
code is like this see
think ur new form name is myappform
Private Sub button_Click()
dim frm as myappform
frm.show
unload me
end sub
thats all
