Hello Cryptic,

Do you want to open data of an .exe file using Visual Basic -- or do
you want to compile an .exe file from Visual Basic, which opens data
of some other kind?

Thanks.

Hello:

   Open an .exe file is exactly the same as with another file, what
you cannot do is open an .exe file in exclusive mode if the .exe
program is executing.

This page contains a very basic tutorial on opening files and reading
information from them

This page contains another tutorial which specify how to read binary
files

If you explain with more detail what you are trying to do, I will be
more than happy to help you.

Best Regards
