Hi All,

Could we run other non microsoft applications like Peachtree by the help of
MS excel VBA codes or using macros. I just not want to run the other
application but also perform some other activities on that application could
it possible....

Regards,

You can use the shell function from VBA to call another application

Dim ProcID As Integer
' Run Calculator.
ProcID = Shell("C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

If this post helps click Yes
 
You can always shell the application to run it, but whether and how you
interact depends on the product you are using.

Myapp = Shell("C:\Sage.exe", 1)

AppActivate Myapp
 
Dear Jacob,

your code works perfectly, but I want to perform some other function as well
after the application is open, as if its already open I gothrough some menu
of this application & run a prosedure to export a report How I could do this
