Running apps from inside excel
Greetings,
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this ... With the following code, a powerpoint .pps slideshow will open, run , close and return to excel, no problem: Sub RunPowerpointShow() Dim pwp As Object Set pwp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application") pwp.Visible = True Set pwfile = pwp.presentations.Open (FileName:="P:\test.pps") pwfile.SlideShowSettings.Run pwp.Quit End Sub I would like to be able to run Lotus ScreenCam files in a similar manner. These can be created as .exe files which do not require the user to have any ScreenCam software installed. Could anyone advise on code required to run ScreenCam file "P:\test.exe" TIA David |

Running apps from inside excel
in a simple way:
Shell "P:\test.exe" read up on the Sell command. For more serious work, look into the VBScript shell object... Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") With this you can check whether the shell is running etc Patrick Molloy Microsoft Excel MVP -----Original Message----- Greetings, Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this ...
