Hello Everyone,

I inserted an object into my Excel workbook. It will boot up my
NOTEPAD.EXE
program. Is there a way to execute it and have it automatically load a
file
name into Notepad??? I want to execute notepad, and then automatically
load
a .bat file into it so that I can edit it.

Hope you can help... Michael
