You should be able to use the shell command, or
System.Diagnostics.Process.

To just call it

Shell """c:\Program Files\SomeFile.exe"""

when I use ShellId = Shell(CommandLine, vbNormalFocus)

I got compile error: expected variable or procedure, not module

Thanks all very much. I know the problem to use shell. because there is
another module that someone define the name is Shell, so I can't use
shell command.

Thanks everyone again.

Simply use 'Interaction.Shell'...
