Hi and Welcome to the forums!

Don't another app open the files when you double-click them? You know, like when you double-click a txt file and runs Notepad, not the txt, You doesn't want Run(), you want ShellExecute().

hi,

it not opens any programs it is a script to bypass the main program and grab the data from DB directly without that i need to log , make a query etc.

normal in windows i can just double click and it runs in background.

i try still in VBA this:

ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "C:\Users\***\Desktop\call data\Export Data Bra data.acsauto", NewWindow:=True

this works but i get a error window with "some files can harm your computer" ..

Hi,.

can you provide a party of your code that execute your avaya tools?

saiyan, right click on the shortcut link that you run and go to properties. Tell us what the "Target" and the "Start In" values are. Be exact, including the quotes. That would help us a lot in helping you.

type of file: Avaya Supervisor Automatic Script (.acsauto)

Opens with: Script.exe -- cant find that in any directory .. only found ACscript with even the same icon

hi this i mine VBA that works now :

Sub Avaya_report_Bra()

Shell ("C:\Program Files\Avaya\CMS Supervisor R16\ACScript.exe C:\Users\****\Desktop\call data\Export Data Bra data.acsauto /AUTO")

Exit Sub

End Sub

this is executing all not ut i would like to have it in auto it and i tried shellexecute() but not working ...

I just want to make sure you are coding the ShellExecute statement correctly. I think this is how it should be:

ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\Avaya\CMS Supervisor R16\ACScript.exe", '"' & "C:\Users\****\Desktop\call data\Export Data Bra data.acsauto /AUTO" & '"')
