I have been trying to open a program like:
"C:\Program Files\CH3SW\Bin\Rhlta.exe" /IDD_TDR

The program has to start with the /IDD_TDR

What you have written looks like DOS command with switch "/IDD_TDR ". Is it correct?

Click to expand...
See if this VB statement does what you want...

Code: 
Shell Environ("comspec") & " /c ""C:\Program Files\CH3SW\Bin\Rhlta.exe"" /IDD_TDR"
