Hello

How can I start an application with administrator privileged using a shell command

Any help appreciated
Martin

My actual code is
VBA Code:
 Retcode = Shell("""C:\Program Files\TS Support\MultiCharts64\MC64\MultiCharts64.exe"" ""G:\Users\Utilisateur\Documents\Martin\Documents\Document Bourse\MultiChart\WorkSheet\1 Hour\4_ScalesChart\4Scales_Desktop.mcd""", vbNormalFocus)
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
This runs notepad as another user (ADMIN) and will prompt for that users password.
VBA Code:
Sub Example()
    Dim Retcode
    Retcode = Shell("runas /user:ADMIN notepad.exe")
End Sub
