Default Create A Windows Shortcut To a .xls File?


RayportingMonkey;188988 Wrote:
I need to create directory on a given user's c: when a specific workbook
is
opened and leave a windows shortcut in that new directory.

I have the code that will test to see if the directory exists and
prompts
the user for permission to create C:\Share if it doesn't exist.

What I need help with is creating a windows shortcut in C:\Share that
will
launch a specific workbook (namely the one that created the
directory).

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ray

Hello Ray,

It would be nice to know the folder's name and the workbook's name the
shortcut is to launch. I would rather give you a code example using this
information than a generic one.
