Hello,
Here's an example of opening a location in Google Earth directly from MS Excel using a VBA macro.
The spreadsheet contains a data sheet - wth names, lan/long pairs and descriptions - and a control sheet with the kml code and file details. Click on the "
Open in GE" link on a row to open those co-ordinates in directly in GE.
Make sure that the "temp dir" value is set to a suitable temporary directory and that the path to the GE executable is correct (this will probably be different to the default if you are using GE Pro; I've put little error handling in so the macro will just break if it's not right).
See also the Excel to KML converter, which creates a kml file for all locations in a spreadsheet:
