Default Passing argument to excel

Hi all...

Interesting task here...

I am using a Visual Basic app (NOT excel) to send a Shell() command that
launches an excel sheet:

"C:\MySheets\Go.xls"

Windows finds Excel, loads the Go.xls sheet, and all is well...

Here is the issue: I wish to pass an argument ALONG with this shell command
that can be "seen" by Go.xls

For example, I'd like to have this work:

Result = Shell("C:\Mysheets\Go.xls " & iArgument)

(where iArgument is an integer variable)


A macro in Go.xls would need the iArgument to know what to do...
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks so much!

M
