You will need to use window's API to do this function as VisualBasic doesn't have internal workings to do that.
Code:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1 Then you call it like this: Code:
ShellExecute Me.hWnd, vbNullString, PathAndFileName, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL I hope that this helps. Also, you may want to go to www.developerfusion.com, where they have a lot of different articles for Visual Basic including API functions such as this one.

error in code
[QUOTE=spak111]You will need to use window's API to do this function as VisualBasic doesn't have internal workings to do that.

What should I do?

Okay, you need to make sure that the code that you pasted above is in the general declarations portion of your project. If it is not, it will cause an error. Also, if that still doesn't work for you, don't declare SW_SHOWNORMAL as a constant, just remember to change where SW_SHOWNORMAL is in the call, to a '1'. I hope this helps fix your problem.
