Using Shellexecute to start a program

[mtheriault]

Hello

How can i use ShellExecute command to start an application. Since the application as to be run in administrator mode, i suppose that i need to pass a Vbyes parameter to the comnmand line. When started manualy, Windows open a secutity box and ask if i approved it.

The application is use for a text capture process
name is: Hypersnap6.exe
Directory: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Hypersnap 6\"

I did use before the shell() command, but it doesn't work anymore when the targeted application is under administrator mode

Any help appreciated

I've re-opened this thread.

If anybody is familiar with MrExcel then they will realise that they are having a lot of problems over there at the moment.

I think this might be the reason that Martin has cross-posted.

Solutioned....

Thank you Norie, your a great man. Sol

Yes i had problem with MrExcel site yesterday, i taught it was another problem that i had. I was in hurry to solution that one. First time that i post on multiple forum. I had to be up and running fast. Did learn my lesson.

I did found the solution witch consist to give Excel an administrator right also.

1- Right click on Excel icon, select compatibility, Priviledge level, execute as an administrator
2- close and re-open Excel
3- From the opened Excel page, load the worksheet
4- Since my Excel worksheet was starting two others .exe application, i did give them also the administrator right in their property.

et voila

I did found that Starting directly my worksheet with is icone ( next to Excel in start menu), won't work as my worksheet will not get is administrator right

No problem.

If you do cross-post then if you provide a link to the other forum then most people don't mind.

Oh, and thanks for posting the solution - one thing I don't like is when people just reply saying they've solved their problem without further details.
