Hello! I d like to write some code that opens a 3dmax file when I click a button. Is this easy?
Would it be easier to use VB for Applications from 3ds max?

Actually I found a solution but another problem showed up. I can use the shell function to open 3DS Max but I can't find a way to open files with ".3ds" extension. Do I have to use the ShellExecute API call? Is that easy? Please help me!

There should be a command line argument that the 3DS Max program will take. Either that or you could try simply executing the .3ds file itself, though this would mean that if a user didn't have 3ds files associated to 3DS Max then it would not open.
Id stick with the command line argument though, it'll be a lot more consistent.
