Answer 1

Your question is not clear enough for me to give you the precise answer. But here, I answer it anyway. I just hope that it's what your looking for:

1) To run a file from VB without using the 'Shell' command, you can use 'ShellExecute'. It's an API command. You can download all download all the API command here: http://allapi.net

2) If you just want to run a project in VB IDE, go to 'Run' menu and select 'Start' or just press the shortcut key, F5.

I don't excatly get your question, but if you want to run your application jsut press f5 and it should start, depending on what vb you have.

If you want to do a function or something just declare the funtion and then type the function where you want it to be run.

or, if you want your vb application to do something... you can use this

Fileopen(1, "file-location", openmode.output)

Answer 3

WshShell.run
