Post by: 911 on March 27, 2021, 10:23:52 AM

Hi i'm new to this forum
I'm trying to add a macro (or a lisp ) in autocad that will startup excel so i may open an excel file that is placed in a certain folder. Does anyone know how to do this?

This is what I've been using....just replace XXXstuffXXX with yours.

Code: [Select]

(startapp "C:/Program Files (X86)/Microsoft Office/Office16/excel.exe" (findfile "C:/XXXfolder nameXXX/Excel/XXX
Exce-File-NameXXX.xls"))
