Default Execute a ping command

Leith:

Not to worry. I'm a step below novice with VB stuff. I played a little with
Bob Phillips suggestion and got it working from a macro just the way I had
originally envisioned it.

Shell ("ping.exe -t " & ActiveCell.Value), vbNormalFocus

Thanks again for your help,
Tim

Hello Tim,

Sorry about that. I was on auto pilot. I have used that API so many
times, I forgot that you wanted the Ping status, and not if the
Ping.exe module actually executed the command. Jim's code certainly
will tell you the Ping status. What are not sure about with Jim's
code?

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
