ShellExecute
Hello,
Running XP pro & Excel 2007 I was running this bit of code this morning to launch a shortcut on the desktop, and everything was working fine. While experimenting with variations things went into "lala land", and now I can't get it to work again (with the original code). Reinstalling Excel didn't help. It looks like it's going to launch the shortcut (mometary hourglass), but the window never opens. Interestingly, it will still launch a .bat file without any problem. My experience with API calls is limited, any help would be most appreciated. regards, DaveU Sub LaunchLNK() Dim DeskTop As String DeskTop = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders.Item( "Desktop") ShellExecute 0, "Open", DeskTop & "\myfile.lnk", "", "C:\", 1 End Sub |
