Opening other Applications From Excel

[princessk1]

Hi there,

Is it possible to open an application through Excel that is not a Microsoft application?
The application I am trying to open is called NiceLabel.

Thanks!

This worked with a program that is not MS. Just fill in the location with your .exe file.

Sub Run_Program()

Dim vprog As Variant

vprog = Shell("D:\Program Files\Whisper Technology\FTP Surfer\Surfer.exe&quot

End Sub

Hope it helps.

Works great! Thanks very much.

Is it possible to pass a variable to the program as I open it? If so, what is the syntax?

Thanks.
