I want to send, using a command button, 4 separate cell values as a string (numerical only) from Excel 2000 (open) to another open program in Windows7 (in this case an Arduino micro controller program) but could be any other open program on the Window OS like notepad etc.

Code will include the open file address. Just need some advice or reference to material online (have looked without success) for the vba to get the string together and the code to get into the other program.

Copy/Paste is not an option I want to use. Need when transferring data to focus first on the new application (already open) and then return focus to Excel after entering data.

It could be from Excel to the only other open application on desktop which could be notepad, word, arduino control, etc.

Your comments and advice appreicated.
