Launch MS Word form VB.exe
I need to setup an onclick event that will take the .text from a list box and start MSWord with the document requested form the list box. Can anyone provide assistance?

I know this is a bit old school but this is the way the client wants it.

Send a message via ICQ to Onslaught
Shell("c:/path/to/word.exe document.doc")
