I want to make a macro witch is able to start a program. So i probertly need a start.object(c:\bla\bla.exe)

Can anyone give me the excacyt code? I´m kinda new at this

Do you want Excel to open a program or a spreadsheet? here's what I use to open spreadsheets.

Sub Macro1()
'Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+t
Workbooks.Open FileName:="C:\My Documents\FileName.xls"
End Sub

I just assign a shortcut to it, in this case Ctrl+t.
I've never opened a "Program" within excel but I think if you replace the "Filename.xls" with your program name, it should work. Good Luck

P.S. If there's a better way, let me know.
