I am trying to open a file in a program (Microsoft) by clicking on an excel
file. Initially I tried a regular hyperlink, but excel seems to ignore the [filename] part of: c:\directory\ustation.exe [filename] where [filename] is the actual name of the file. Excel only opens the program, not the file as well. Where as this DOES work as a command prompt from a command window. So I have written a function in VBA which does work. But I can't get excel to execute the function when I click on the cell, like a hyperlink. |

How about just putting a little button from the Forms toolbar next to that cell.
Then assign your macro to that little button. Matthew wrote: I am trying to open a file in a program (Microsoft) by clicking on an excel file.
