Help with simple VB ap - How to open Windows Explorer -

Post by James Goldma » Wed, 25 Sep 2002 23:48:51



I am putting together a simple VB application which enables the user to
search a database on a number of different fields.  Once I have located the
record I want I then need to get the programme to open Windows Explorer and
display a certain folder based on the result of my search - I can't seem to
find a way to do this. - Any ideas?

1. HELP - AP/DOS - AP/PRO - WINDOWS

AP/DOS is an AP 5.2 release.  PROCs are completely compatible.  BASIC
object code can be moved from 5.2 to 6.1 (I am not sure if it can be
moved back).

Other than really bad performance (and some stability issues) with
AP/DOS, this should work pretty well.
