Adding a new excel file type
Hi all,
I have a certain type of tab seperated file that I would like to load in Excel. I have a macro that will do the trick for me, but I'd like to make things a bit easier on my users, by allowing them to open these files transparently. Ideally, I would like to have: myfile.myextension registered to be opened by microsoft excel on double click And, here it comes, add the .myextension file type to the list of default file types in excel, and hook up my macro when it wants to open a file of this type. Can this be done? Thanks in advance, Wim |
