Remote Procedure Call

Remote Procedure Call

Remote Procedure Call

(OP)
Is it possible to make a remote procedure call from VB inside  MS Excel to another computer on the same network.  I want the remote computer to make a copy of a file on its own hard drive and I want to initiate the action from a VBA macro on my computer.

I can make copies with a local copy command, but I believe that moves the file across the network twice.

Any hints and help with the syntax are appreciated.

RE: Remote Procedure Call

A process could periodically run on remote computer.
The process could shell any command it was told to do.

Schedule could initiate the process at any interval.
