Randy Byrne [MVP - Outlook #2 / 4	How to start wordpad via a button in a custom form? Create a custom component in Visual Basic that you can call from VBScript in your form. Essentially the COM component is a wrapper for the Shell function in VB. -- Regards, Randy Byrne, MVP - Outlook http://www.microeye.com http://www.outlookexchange.com Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 2000 Microsoft Press, June 1999 http://www.microeye.com/books Micro Eye ZipOut http://www.microeye.com/zipout Quote: > I have a custom form and I wanna add a button that start automatically > wordpad with a specific file.

Kevin McGe #3 / 4	How to start wordpad via a button in a custom form? Can you elaborate with an example of how that is done or point me in the right direction on where to look up information on custom components and COM. I'm trying to run some procedures from Outlook that I have in Access and I'm having a tough time getting the Access Application to get the focus. If I can call it from Outlook directly, that would be great. Thanks. Kevin McGee Quote: >Create a custom component in Visual Basic that you can call from VBScript in >your form.

Joe B #4 / 4	How to start wordpad via a button in a custom form? Try this... Sub WordPad() Set wshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") wshShell.Run "wordpad.exe" Set wshShell = Nothing End Sub It will start WordPad, but don't know how to start a particular saved file. Good luck! Joe B. Quote: > I have a custom form and I wanna add a button that start automatically > wordpad with a specific file. Is that possible and how can I add the code? > Thank, > Niek
