I'm using Vista... which apparently is the problem. It seems they moved
Solitaire to a different location in this version of windows. The
path/filename for Solitaire on my system is...

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Solitaire\Solitaire.exe"

Is this some sort of "Easter Egg" program hidden away in Excel? If so,

Run-time error '1004':

Cannot run 'SOL.EXE'. The program or one of its

rather
than
0 in the macro.
