Just put the following in your batch file, including the quotes:

"c:\documentpath\filename"

where 'documentpath' is the file's path and 'filename' is, well, you get the
idea.
Windows knows to open ".xls" files in Excel.

In the workbook, insert your code module/sub/whatever, then insert a call to
the macro in the Workbook_Open() Event (in the PersonalWorkbook module)

I know absolutely nothing about writing batch files...

Is it possible to write a simple one that opens a workbook, and then
runs a specific macro ? If so , what would it look like?

thanks,
