I want to open BATCH.bat in a macro.
I tried 'ReturnVal = Shell("C:\BATCH.bat", 1)' and it opens a DO
window and runs through about 20 different command lines very quickl
without executing any of them.

HELP

I have two files file1.xls & file2.xls. I first open file1.xls, subsequently
through VBA code in file1.xls, I need to open file2.xls and execute an macro
in file2.xls. Do anybody have suggestions?

I am able to open file2.xls through this command, but unable to execute any
macro in that.
Workbooks.Open Filename:=

Thanks
Mahendhra

Hi Mahendra,

Try:

Application.Run ("File2.xls!YourMacroName")
