Currently I'm trying to use this code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sub Open_Program()

Shell ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe")

End Sub


HOWEVER, when I run it, I get a "compile error: Expected End Sub" error message.

Just trying to figure out how to launch any program on the computer when knowing the path for it.

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
You have two "Sub" lines in a row:
VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sub Open_Program()
Remove one.

You cannot have start a new "Sub" until you end the previous one with an "End Sub" line.
