open a file in output mode having extension .bat. Now type codes...

Do you want to execute a batch file????

Then use this:

Code:

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\mybatch.bat", 1)

The general syntax to use this is :

Code:

RetVal = Shell([Pathname of EXE],[WindowStyle As vbAppWinStyle = vbMinimisedFocus])
