Hello friends,
I am using Excel 2007


I want the vba code to open CMD and run the following code and close CMD.

CMD code: attrib "d:\test.txt" +s +h +r



Please help
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Try this, without being the CMD window visible;

Code:
Shell ("attrib d:\test.txt +s +h +r")

The same action but without need of CMD
Rich (BB code):
Sub FileAttribute()
  SetAttr "C:\test.txt", vbSystem + vbHidden + vbReadOnly
End Sub
