anyone know how to run a command (like C:\folder\aProgram.exe -arg) in visual basic? in C++ it was something like System("cmd"), but where is it in VB?

Its really really simple: (in VB6)
Code:

Shell "C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe"

NOTE: this is non-blocking, it wont wait for the command to finish, if you want a blocking version you have to use the windows api
