Just a warning - I'm not very well versed in VB like this. Here's what I
want to do:

Off of a button in Excel, I want to open a shortcut to another document
(non-office document)which is on my desktop. Let's just say the document's
name is "ABC" for the example. Can someone help me with what the macro text
would look like? TIA -Steve (operating in XP)
