I'm very new to vb.net and used to code in vb4.0 back in the days. I in the meantime persuit a career in entrepreneurship and lost track with programming. :cool:

I need a piece of code and cannot find anything on the web that remotely can help me, well maybe it can I maybe stare at it but do not understand it.

I want to open a program through a shortcut on a desktop through a vb or vb.net program.

I need this for terminal server users that when they login this little exe will start and choose one of two buttons that will start a shortcut on the desktop.
The reason I want to go this way is that it is accdb databases and what I can make out is that you need serious connections first to the database to open it.

From what I can make out, you want to run(start) another application from within a VB.NET application?

If so, you can use the System.Diagnostics.Process class.

Thank you! Had a bit of issues with compiling and wanted to make sure it works on the server before I come back with comments.

This is a great site, been on it a couple of times this passing weekend but like I say I would not even recognise the code when it jumps up and bite me in the face. I surely need to get back into this.

Once again thank you for all your help and all the people that participated.
