>Hey, if I want to call shellexecute multiple times, should I declare it every time, or should I declare it as part of the main program, and then use it through out all the rest of the forms and such that I have underneath?

You only have to declare it once, as long as you are not in the habit of placing CLEAR DLLS in your code.
