calling external programs using labview

I have a LV program running to collect and display data, but also need to call an external program while doing this. I have a menu set up where one button launches my system control .vi, one launches my data display .vi, but there is another feature that is handled by a program a co-worker has written. Is there a way that whenever a button is pressed, LV can launch an external .exe file? Basically, I just need LV to call the executeable... the program that is called will be terminated by the user.

Try function palette -> Communication -> System Exec.vi
