Hi Team

Newbie to the forum.

Just throwing this out there for discussion.

I have been programming ( self taught ) with VBA in both Access & Excel for many, many years now, with the generous assistance from the global community of course.

An office colleague ask if it is possible to dial a phone number based on a cell value.

So, I pondered whether VBA could do it, I did some checking and accessed my Mitel and got it's IP Address.

What i'm hung up on is how do I pass the cell's String value ( Phone No ) to the IP Address so it dials the number.

I found a function that calls up the old Dialer.exe for old modem landline connections but's it's not practical for this purpose, especially given we're now on FTN Broadband.

I look forward to your comments.

TIA
Mark.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
