How can I get LabVIEW 7.1 to spawn/run another windows program that normally runs standalone?

I have numerous sensor devices, pressure, temperature, particle size, mass air flow, etc all contained in a process used for testing various filters in a lab environment. Most of the hardware came with drivers and programs where the user can run the stand-alone program and communicate, serially, with the devices, set parameters, receive data and graph same. However, my customer wishes to have LabVIEW control all of the programs. Is there a way to have LabVIEW spawn another executable?
Thanks Much in advance

A good place to start is with the System Exec VI on the communications pallete. Smiley Wink
