Starting a program via a VB program

[Jakal]

Is it possible to start a program ( for exemple Word ) by pressing a button in a VB program?? And This program (Word) will continue to run if a close the program a made with VB.

If its possible can you tell me how, please?

Remember, that code will throw an error (Win32Exception) if Word isnt installed, so make sure to use a Try/Catch block.
