Default Make shortcut to Excelfile on desktop

Hi Steve - tks. for reply :-)

Y your right, for me it would be easey, but still for many users
Excel and computers is something like "hmm do we have to use that"?
So my plan was to make it easey for them.

Until now we had 2 files, now it is merged to 1 new file named Test.xls
its on a network drive, so anyone can use that file.
They dont no i make a new file until they open the old file, where the
link to new file is.

Do u no haw to make that subroutine ?

You can create a subroutine that would send a shortcut to
"G:\Temp\Temp2\Test2.xls to your desktop. However, if you're always going
to be sending the same shortcut to the desktop, it seems it would be quicker
to manually create the shortcut than it would be to write the subroutine or
do you really want to accumulate many duplicate shortcuts to Test2.xls on
your desktop?
