Hello friends,
I am using Excel 2007


I want the vba code to open CMD and run the following code and close CMD.

CMD code: attrib "d:\test.txt" +s +h +r



Please help
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Try this, without being the CMD window visible;

Code:
Shell ("attrib d:\test.txt +s +h +r")

The same action but without need of CMD
Rich (BB code):
Sub FileAttribute()
  SetAttr "C:\test.txt", vbSystem + vbHidden + vbReadOnly
End Sub
