I want to be able to execute other programs from a button
on a form. I can execute all of the MS office program
because there is a procedure but how do I execute no MS
programs, such as WordPerfect 10 etc.
 
Look up the Shell command in VBA Help

Hi David,

either
lookup online help for 'shell' command (The help example
is good)
or
try adding a reference to the appropriate object library
using tools|references and then using object variables.

luck
Jonathan
