Hey, I'm working on a project for school in vb and they taught us prety much nothing of value, so whats the code to link to a website? Also how would you be able to make it install a program? Thanks.

You have to be a little more specific with what you need. I'm not sure what you mean by "make it install a program."

To open a website, use:
code:
Shell "iexplore.exe http://www.compsci.ca/", vbNormalFocus
(although for some reason, I have to put the full path of internet explorer (i.e. c:/program files/internet explorer/iexplore.exe)

the reason that u have to put the full path is because the file iexplore.exe is not in your system path and cant be executed like anything else
