I made a Command1 button in visual basic, I want to know how to make this button a shortcut key.
So that if I click it, it will open up the program I want.

For example, if I clicked a button labeled Firefox, it would open Firefox.

Could you enter the code required and explain it (only been doing VB6 for 3 days).

I have:

Private Sub Command2_Click()
shellexecute (filename)
End Sub

That is all, but it is not working

Hey there.. If your firefox is installed in Program Files(typically), then you can use the following code. You need to use Shell() function to run the exe and Environ$() to locate Program Files directory.

Try this... (in VB6)

Private Sub Command2_Click()
	Dim Browser
	Browser = Shell(Environ$("ProgramFiles") & "\Firefox\firefox.exe")
End Sub

That's it..
