Is it possible to launch a standalone program from within Excel. That is, I
want to have a .exe - that I have created in VB 2005 - launch based on the
click of an icon or click of a menue item from withing Excel.

The idea being that I have chosen to create the project in a standalone for
and not as an XLA. The question now is how to launch it from Excel or am I
restricted to launching it from outside of Excel?

If its possible I am assuming that I will have to create some logic in my
standalone program which creates the linkages in Excel (i.e. tool bar/menu
items) upon install.

Thanks
