I would like to convert excel .prn file to txt using wordpad
or word through VB scripts. I want it done in the background mode.

I don't want to open the .prn file physically using the following command;
'Use the Shell or ShellExecute functions.
'Shell example:
Shell("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe C:\documents\SampleExcel.prn")

Help help help.....
Can anyone help me or suggest me.

Thanks
 
Do You know the printerdriver that has created the prn-file?
A prn-file is basicaly an image that can be interpreted by a specific printer that works with a specific driver.
If you know how the prn-file is made, you might have a better way of reversing the process.
