Every month I get some Executable Zip files that contains sales datas in Excel files.

I'm trying to find a way to automaticly unzip these files into a specific directory. I'm able to run the EXE file from Excel but not able to specify the destination directory or press ALT-U to unzip it.


Sub Unzip()
Shell pathname:="c:\zip.exe", windowstyle:=shellnormfocus
SendKeys ("C:\UnzippedFiles_directory")
End Sub

Any ideas how I can take control of this Winzip window ???

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Forget it, it's working.

It wasn't working in the step by step mode, but in real mode it's working great !

Sorry guys.
