hmmm, sorry but i think it's a bit confusing...you want to launch another program from your VB program?
You can use Shell for that:

Shell("c:\command.com", vbNormalFocus)

to launch MS-DOS
otherwise reply and explain what exactly are you trying to do

To see all the programs that are currently running on your PC, press Ctrl+Alt+Del...!!!Be careful...press them only once, otherwise you will restart your computer!!!
But there is an exception....there is a code to "hide" the program that is running on your pc, so program is running but isn't visible when Ctrl+Alt+Del is pressed
