  'You can use any of the three options depending on the program you want to run
  Shell ("calc" AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

  Shell ("calc.exe" AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

  Shell ("c: \ windows \ calc.exe" AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

The possible options for the second parameters are:

      Hello, in reference to your inquiry simply change the first parameter for the path to your executable.

      eg If your executable is called MIO.exe code would be:

      shell ("c: \ your path \ mio.exe" AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
