The easiest way, i guess would be to use the Shell function and give it the path to the .exe. (provided you knew it)

ie

Call Shell(PathToExe, vbNormalFocus)




If you dont know the path to the program executable, then you could ask the user for its location when installing the program and keep that value in the registry or something and use that path to give to the shell function. I don't think you could use the ShellExecute on an .html file because the system would just open the client's browser intead of the html editor.

Other than that, I dont know. Hope this wasn't a waste of your time.
