 How do I launch another app from VB6?

I need to start another application from inside my VB6 app. Is there a quick
way to do this, or do I need to use the Win API's?

Thanks!

Hi Jamie.  Take a look at the Shell Function in VB6 help.  It should explain
everything for you.
You can locate it by going to the Index Tab in MSDN help and typing in Shell
Function.

Shell Function

Runs an executable program and returns a Variant (Double)
representing the program's task ID if successful, otherwise it returns zero.
