Using VBA with a DOS window
I am currently trying to develop a windows based shell, to run an ol
command line driven DOS progam. The idea is to use drop down menus et to simplify the programs use. I am using the keystrokes function to type in the commands so that th window doesn't automatically close itself when it is finished. I wa hoping that it could be possible to copy and paste the command promp screen output, so that I can paste it (and hence use it) in Excel. Does anyone have any idea as to how I can do this and/or links to an websites that talk about working with DOS windows -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
