PASSING PARAMETER FORM DOS script to Excel
Bruce,
You have to use this method to open your Excel file ? If so : http://p2p.wrox.com/TopicIndex/22874.htm but maybe it only works on XL97; could not get it work with XL2002. If I add a Debug.Print CmdLine I get a load of binary and code that appears to come from Adode (I have Acrobat installed). but MsgBox CmdLine shows "C:\..DOSPathToOffice..\excel.exe" c:\test.xls Not sure if DDE is an option, but Automation would be easy.

PASSING PARAMETER FORM DOS script to Excel
Hi nick,
The script is exactly the same as what i had written previously. But problem is that some PC will have a KERNEL32 error prompt It indicated ModName: kernel32.dll ModVer:5.1.2600.2180 Offset:00009e45 error Regards Bruce "NickHK" wrote: Bruce, You have to use this method to open your Excel file ?

PASSING PARAMETER FORM DOS script to Excel
As I said, I don't think this will on later versions XL after 97.
Why not use automation instead ? It would be more straight forward. Or DDE ? NickHK "BruceWyne" wrote in message ... Hi nick, The script is exactly the same as what i had written previously.
