Well if i typed a directory in a TextBox and clicked a button to run the file from directory , how would i do that? Can some one post a source here?

Example:

Textbox1 + 1 Button

Textbox1.Text = "C:\upx.exe"

How would i start the program by clicking Button1?

Source = Rep + thank

Process.Start(xxxxxxx)

Process.Start("Textbox1.Text")

Naw tried that already.

like that guy said.. try it without the quotes.. obviously.. -.-

Nevermind i got it.

Code:

       Dim pid As Long


        ' Start the program.
        pid = Shell(TextBox1.Text, vbMinimizedNoFocus)
        If pid = 0 Then
            MsgBox("Error starting program")
            Exit Sub
        End If
