I there any way I can record a macro that will open a dos
executable, pass in various paramaters, and returns the
value to an existing spreadsheet?
 
You can only record what you can do in Excel. Excel doesn't have a command
to run other programs. You might check out the VB Shell function in Help
while in the VBE.
