I'm trying to learn VB on my own, and I was just wondering if someone could tell how could I run an application from VB. For example make an exe program lunch, not read the file, run the file.

Shell(filepath:string)

I used to write programs to send messages over the school's network like
code:

Shell("net send " & sendTo & " " & message)

where sendTo and message are string variables

do you mean like the messages that you get when you use up too much space that say "From admin to smithbob on server xyz, you're using up too much space"

lol, our network admin was actually smart enough to disable netsend.... thats about it besides regedit. Anyways, does anybody know how to run a program that a file is associated with? For example if I want to open C:\test.txt, visual basic should open the associated program (notepad) and then have it open the file (test.txt) in that program(notepad). I tried shell, and it gave me an error, i'm assuming it's because the file was not an .exe
