email me what you have in the way of any coding
OR what you would like to do exactly.
I find it better explaining it with a workbook example.

What you may have seen is a exe file converter
such as PKZip been executed.
To do this from VBA have a look @ the shell command.
eg

Sub Do_exe()

Dim Proc As Variant

' The first argument "dosomething.bat" is the DOS
' batch file to be run. This example assumes that
' it is located in the same directory (folder) as
' the Excel workbook. Otherwise, you will need
' to be explicit with the path to your DOS file.
' or use CDir to change to the file dir.
' Also, the number 6 in the second argument
' instructs the program to run in an iconized
' window and maintain the current window as the
' active window.
'Note:
'The Shell function runs other programs asynchronously.
'This means that a program started with Shell might not finish
'executing before the statements following the Shell function are executed.

Proc = Shell("dosomething.bat", 6)

End Sub

HTH
