    Help with visual basic 2008

    Hello all,
    I was wondering how to code a button that can open a different program such as notepad or any other program.

    This is certainly possible using the .NET Framework. You use a Process object, as in:
    Code:
    Dim app As Process
    Experiment with its object members and constructor to find out how to set the program, because I've forgotten. I think you call the Start() method to begin the process, i.e. start the program.
