Am trying to execute a bat file from within Excel VBA.

Using a variable to select a file with full path to process with the batch file.

 

Q.  I need to run a specific .bat file that would be located in the same folder/path as the selected file.  How would I run the bat file with the selected file.

 

Have viewed:  https://www.myonlinetraininghu...../vba-shell

 

With no success.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi,

What have you tried that doesn't work?  Please supply the workbook and code.

What version of Windows are you using?

Regards

Phil
