Opening Other Applications

What would the code be (to put into a button) for opening another application

I need to launch the calculator....located at:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe

This is what I have so far...

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Process.start (calc.exe)
End Sub

But this always gives me "Run-time error '424': Object Required

I'm using Visual Basic 6.0

thanks if you can help

Process.Start is the way you would do it in VB.NET, to get this to work in VB6 you want to do this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim x As Integer

x = Shell("c:\Windows\sytem32\calc.exe")

End Sub

Hope that helps,

You should download a copy of VB Express and start using .NET

Its Free !!!, Its 8+ years newer technology than VB6, You'll get assistance in these forums on any questions you have and did I mention its free.

Welcome to MSDN Visual Basic Language Forum,
This forum supports Visual Basic.NET (7, 7.1, 8, ...) issues only, so, your Visual Basic 6 question is an off-topic here and this isn't the best place to ask it, here is a list of forums, newsgroups, resources and sites, to get an answer about your question :
Remember, you can use Visual Basic 2005 Express (.NET) for free, because it's free-to-download, free-to-register, easy-to-use, easy-to-learn and funny!, why you don't want to take a tour about it
