After a lot of hunting and trail and error I've managed to get it to work,
here it is:

Shell "C:\WINDOWS\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState", vbHide

Pretty simple in the end

Maybe there's some API calls that you can use.

If you don't find anything, I'd post in one of the VB groups--but be sure to
tell them you want to run it in excel's VBA--include your version of windows and
your version of excel.

Good luck.

Is there a way to hibernate a computer via Excel VBA?

I tried something like SendKeys "^{ESC}u", True
to get the shutdown box up but it doesn't work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
