running Exe

[Jerome Conus]

Hi ! I'm using VB 6.0 and I would like to launch an Exe from my VB code. I also would like to get the returned value from the Exe. Anyone knows how to do that ? Thank you for your help ! Jerome

You know. I'm surprised that Nish hasn't jumped in and said to use ShellExecute(..)... I know it's C++ but if you just search at MSDN you'll probably find something.

u have to use Shell Function in order to execute an exe and u use Command Function in order to get the return value from and even pass value to the exe.
