Hi All,

Does anyone know if it is possible (and if so how?) to run a .exe fil
from VBA in excel? Specifically, I would like to add a command butto
to my worksheet and when it is pressed it runs a .exe file which is i
the same folder as the excel workbook. The .exe file will not be use
in any way by excel; it will only display information for the user.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Aaro

Look at the Shell function in the VBA help.
