OK... not entirely Excel... but here's the scoop.

I need to launch excel, with arguments, by way of keyboard emulation.

Specifically, I have a barcode scanner, which thinks it's a keyboard. I
need to be able to present it with a barcode that will create keystrokes
that will launch excel with arguments.

One way to do this would be to use winkey-R to open the Run window... but I
don't believe that the barcode scanner is sophisticated enough to emulate
the Winkey key.

Perhaps there is an ASCII mapping to the winkey? (not likely).

Is there a ctrl-?key? sequence that will also bring up the run window?

Any other tricks I might try?

Thanks!
