Using:
Windows 7 Professional x64
MS Excel 2010 (x32)
Hello all,
When I try to use MSG.exe in VBA with VBA.Interaction.Shell, I get "File not found". When I use MSG.EXE from a command window, everything works fine.
Anyone know what is going on? Has anyone come across this? Anyone know how to get this to work or know of a work-around?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

CTB explained on 4/18/2012 :
Take a look at using VBA's Shell() function -OR- the ShellExecute() API
function. Note that both require a full path and filename!
Example:
Shell "fullpath\MSG.exe" 'starts MSG app
