Hi Everybody
Is there a way I can call/use external utilities such as GNUSort or MSort (which I am told are predominantly Linux based utilities with some support/addins for running on Windows) from within VBA Excel.
My understanding is that so long as the appropriate executable files (.exe) for the relevant utility is stored somewhere on the local hard drive, it can be called using either the "Shell" or the "ShellExecute" function from within VBA Excel with the correct parameters passed to it when called .
Any suggestions please |
