needing help with replace(c.value
I am new to excel programing but have been using it to instigate commands and
scripts to multiple workstations in a corporate enviroment. basicly my latest macro involves opening the root directory on various workstations in explorer. but MSVBS will not let me introduce "\c$" at the end it forces "\ c$" is there some sort of escape caracter in vb that will alow this? **************** retval = Shell("c:\Windows\explorer.exe \\" & Replace(c.Value, "connected ", "" \c$), vbMaximizedFocus) **************** |

needing help with replace(c.value
There are a number of problems with the strings and the quotes. Try
RetVal = Shell("c:\Windows\explorer.exe \\" & _ Replace(C.Value, "connected ", "") & " \c$", vbMaximizedFocus) -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Excel Product Group, 1998 - 2008 Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email on web site) "PhrozenRoad" wrote in message ...

I think I misread what you were trying to accomplish. Try instead the
following code: RetVal = Shell("c:\Windows\explorer.exe \\" & _ Replace(C.Value, "connected ", " \c$"), vbMaximizedFocus) -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Excel Product Group, 1998 - 2008 Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email on web site) "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ...
