Hi,

can you tell me how to open a non-excel file from within Excel

eg. a .txt-file or what I want to do is running an access database .mdb file

the shell-option does not work since it are not applications but documents.

Thanks

In Excel 2000 select DataGet External Data then choose the data type from
the dialog. I expect the method is similar for other versions
