Run an External .exe
Jim,
Thanks,
Could you please provide an example of this "shell" command.
Wrt picking up, the .exe ouputs a text file.
Do I have a way to know when the .exe finished, ie: when this text file is
ready for pick up? I would like to do all this automatically from Excel, in
this way, I could run pre existing .exe routines, which are transparent to
me in excel and then pick up results and post process in excel.
Thx again
Dan

You can run external programs using the shell command, but as for picking up
the outputs, are they being stored somewhere or just how do you propose
getting them.

Is it possible from Excel (using the buttons) to:
1) run an external .exe
2) When the .exe finishes pick up the outputs of the .exe in excel
Thanks again,
