Impromptu calling external program

[EpicXtreme]

Is it possible for Impromptu to call any external programs and run it.

Impromptu reports can have a macro attached that runs before the report itself is fully opened. That macro can call an external program via either a Shell command or a CreateObject call for registered applications that are OLE servers.
