Hi Everyone,
I currently have a BAT file that I would like to get rid of and run from a macro.

The idea is that the macro would not have to call the BAT file but the BAT contents would live within the macro.

Code:
pushd "\\nw\data\787FlexTrack\Data\Final-Body-Join\30-IRMC_Extractions\10-Active\"
dir /b /s > 10-ACTIVE_DIRECTORY.txt
popd

pushd "\\nw\data\787FlexTrack\Data\Final-Body-Join\30-IRMC_Extractions\20-Predecessor\"
dir /b /s > 20-PREDECESSOR_DIRECTORY.txt
popd

pushd "\\nw\data\787FlexTrack\Data\Final-Body-Join\30-IRMC_Extractions\30-Predecessors-Pred\"
dir /b /s > 30-PREDECESSORS-PRED_DIRECTORY.txt
popd

pushd "\\nw\data\787FlexTrack\Data\Final-Body-Join\30-IRMC_Extractions\999-Archive\"
dir /b /s > 999-ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY.txt
popd
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

Okay, well, information to me is that a macro calling a bat file is quite obtuse.

Fine then. how do I use a command to call a macro?
