Hi all, I have created a macro which has 2 procedures (showCustomComboBox)one that take parameters and does some work and the other procedure (showMessage) just shows a message, this is now saved as .dot file into word startup folder. Now i have a document in C:/temp folder with name temp.doc I executed the command "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" C:/temp/temp.doc /mshowMessage This is not working. Actually it has to show a message. And also how can i run a macro like this by passing parameters. Can anybody please suggest ASAP. url:http://www.ureader.com/gp/1025-1.aspx
