Hi,
I have a .exe program that I would like to run by pressing a button on
my VB form. It seems simple enough, and I am trying to use the
code given in the MS help file:
Tools.Shell """C:\Program Files\SomeFile.exe"""
However, VB is saying that Tools is not declared - which makes sense. What type of variable should Tools be dim'd as
Thanks in Advance,
Ken
