Opening an external application when opening excel file
Posted by Bill Ford on September 16, 2000 11:04 AM
I have an external engine application that provides DDE information to my spreadsheet. It must be opened before the external links are started so that it cqan dump in current stock market info. the app is called "talnet32.exe" and requires about 15 seconds to come up to speed before it will honour DDE requests.
This would be an auto start routine if Excel VBA can call an external app and delay while it starts...any ideas?
