i take it to mean you want to be able to open other programs from your program. if so, you use Shell(). for instance, if you wanted to open up notepad you would do Shell("C:\windows\notepad.exe") hope that helps

Include the commandline parameters in the Shell string like so:

Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://serialcoders.sytes.net")

In case there's confusion with commandline arguments and the path you can add double quotes:

Shell("""C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"" http://serialcoders.sytes.net")

Shell (File1.Path & "\" & File1.FileName)
you can always debug.print File1.Path & "\" & File1.FileName
and see what its actually outputting...

also to send keys: sendkeys "{enter}"
or sendkeys "{home}+{end}"
sendkeys "abcd"

'Backspace {BS}
'Break {BREAK}
'Caps Lock {CAPSLOCK}
'DELETE {DEL}
'Down Arrow {DOWN}
'END {END}
'ENTER {ENTER} or ~
'Escape {ESC}
'Help {HELP}
'Home {HOME}
'Insert {INS}
'Left Arrow {LEFT}
'Num Lock {NUMLOCK}
'Page Down {PGDN}
'Page Up {PGUP}
'Print Screen {PRTSC}

ntd, it should be Shell(file1.path & "\" & file1.filename)

you forgot the backslash in the middle. also, you have to make sure a file is actually selected in the file list box.
