Visual Basic question

[Crypticflare]

I ran across this question the other day, this user asked

I know this is a simple question, but I can't find anyone who knows it, how do you run an external EXE from source code? For instance my app is VBApp.exe and I want to run OtherApp.exe, in VBApp.exe I put a button, if I click that button I want OtherApp.exe to run, how do I go about doing that?

Since I lack the knowlege or probably know how to do it, but not know how to put it on code, could one of the VB gurus help :p

I'm guessing you do it the same way you do it in C/C++ with Win32... Either CreateProcess() or the easier (yet depricated) WinExec()
Look them up on MSDN
