Creating a SHORTCUT to a file in XLSTART
You can use the WScript shell object. The sub below will find the XLstart
folder and place a shortcut called StartABC that targets the workbook C:\test\abc.xls. Sub xlstartLINK() Dim wsh As Object Dim lnk As Variant Dim strXLstart As String strXLstart = Application.StartupPath Set wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set lnk = wsh.CreateShortcut(strXLstart & "\StartABC.lnk") lnk.TargetPath = "C:\test\abc.xls" lnk.Save End Sub Steve "jason" wrote in message om... probably a lot easier than I imagine this one! i'd like to progrmmatically create a shortcut to a file in my XLstart file. anybody any ideas? |
