' Shell function can be used to run an external executable file
' its parameters are: program name (if that program is in different folders, and not system files, you need detailed path), Operation mode
' assuming you want to run the ABC.EXE of the C-packing directory, the first parameter requires: ' C:\\ABC. EXE "
' incidentally: if there are spaces in the path or file name, you have to add double quotes on both sides of the path (it is recommended to add double quotes, regardless of whether there are any spaces), like this:" "" C:\\1 2.exe "" "
' second parameter commonly used parameters are: Vbnormalfocus Normal mode, vbMaximizedFocus maximized mode, vbminimizedfocus minimized mode, vbhide hidden mode end
Sub
