Windows Calculator visable on a form

[Tips]

Is it possible to insert or embed windows calculator to a form so that it is always visable. It does not need to update any fields on a form or table, but just there to assist with calcualtions prior to entering a value?

Also, I am using Office 2010 on a Win 7 machine and the following works as a popup

Private Sub Command154_Click()
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\windows\system32\calc.exe", 1)
End Sub

when put in the OnClick event for a command button

Thanks for that. I did look at that, but not really what i am trying to achieve. there is times when i need to add 2 or 3 figures together to enter in to a field as part of other calculations (which are currently working fine, including calculating %'s) so really just being lazy and trying to have it all on one screen not switching between tabs or screens.

Did you try the popup that I gave you the code for? it will be on your screen once loaded until closed.
