OPEN WINDOWS CALCULATOR

Excel Facts

Excel Wisdom
Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
It certainly can. You can use the Shell function to open another executable. The help file has an example which opens the calculator :-

Sub test()
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:WINDOWSCALC.EXE", 3)
End Sub

HTH,
