Launching programs from a front end app.

 Launching programs from a front end app.

I am writing a front end application for my Win95 system..
I am using Visual Basic 3.0 Pro.
I was able to launch Netscape and Word through the OLE property but was
never able to get the OLE box to display what it was for. I have two
questions, 1. How can I get the OLE box to display what the box is for?
2. If thats not possible or feasible, Can someone send me some sample
codes for launchig these and other apps through a command button.
I appreciate the help and anyone wanting a copy of the finished product
feel free to ask, will be happy to send it.
