ExcelBanter - Telephone dialing in Excel 2003

Wallydog, here is some code by John Walkenbach that will do it

Sub CellToDialer()
' Transfers active cell contents to Dialer
' And then dials the phone

' Get the phone number
CellContents = ActiveCell.Value
If CellContents = "" Then
MsgBox "Select a cell that contains a phone number."
Exit Sub
End If

' Activate (or start) Dialer
Appname = "Dialer"
AppFile = "Dialer.exe"
On Error Resume Next
AppActivate (Appname)
If Err < 0 Then
Err = 0
TaskID = Shell(AppFile, 1)
If Err < 0 Then MsgBox "Can't start " & AppFile
End If

' Transfer cell contents to Dialer
Application.SendKeys "%n" & CellContents, True

' Click Dial button
Application.SendKeys "%d"
End Sub

I want to dial using TP numbers in an Excel spreadsheet through my landline
connection to my computer (not VOIP). How do I do this? Thanks
