Can you run an application from within Excel? I have a program from
our database that creates an Excel spreadsheet for me but I have 7 of
them (climbing to 15) to do all the time and I need to filter, combine
and sort the data into 1 workbook and individual worksheets with a
master. I was wondering if I created a macro to do this for me if it
would run the program from our database?

I hope I provided enough information.

Thanks!
