[dba-VB] VB6 Shell

Looks like VB doesn't know what to do with the environment variable.
You will need to explicitly state the full path.

Google ShellExecute and you will be much happier...

Do any VB6 programmers know how to use the shell to run a systems app
such as explorer?  The "target" was copied from my desktop shortcut but
doesn't work - I must be missing some syntax???

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   RetVal = Shell("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe", vbMaximizedFocus) End Sub
