I grabbed this macro from a post Hudster made in a previous thread..

the macro command to open an application in Autocad is _START.

this one opens the calculator

^C^C_start;C:/I386/calc.exe;

doesn't seem to work for me in ACAD 2004.  Can someone test this please..

<guess> If it's for a menu item perhaps ...

(startapp "calc.exe");

Don't run programs out of the i386 folder. The i386 folder contains all the files on the install cd so you can do updates without having to have the windows cd.
