   Visual Basic and the Command Prompt
  I'm using Visual Basic. What I need to do is when the user clicks a button in VB and the event is handled to my function, I'd like that function to execute another program. The exe of the other program will be in the same directory as the visual basic program's exe, so there's no searching around for it. But how would I go around doing this in VB, what function can I use to run another program (it's a command prompt program)? Also, when I run this program from VB, I need to be able to append command line parameters to the end of the run command. Does anybody have any idea how I might go about doing this?   
  Have you looked into using ShellExecute with VB, here is a page that will show you how http://trixar.com/~makai/shellex.htm.   ;  Or the built in function Shell().   ;  It works, thanks!
