I want to open a visual basic program (an executable file) from Excel.  Is there anything I can do to open it using the vba editor?

thanks in advance.

RE: Open Visual Basic Program from Excel

You can use the Shell method to launch an exe file.

Dim sFile As String
sFile = "H:\FixRef.exe"
Call Shell(sFile, vbNormalFocus)
