How to open an exe through Autocad

[WCCSAM]

My company has just created a Visual basic program. And I would just like to open this program through a command or Button in Autocad 2010. How can this be accomplished?

VBALOAD perhaps?

 

Otherwise use SHELL command.

How do I use the "SHELL" command? i have no idea about this.

Thanks

If it's an external EXE, just use

 

(startapp "myProgName")
;; You'll need to add the full path if it's not in the windows environment path
(startapp "C:/program files/my application/myProgName")

Hit F1, search for shell. The help can describe it better than I can.
