Hi

I'm calling an external app from a shell call. I nned the app to always open as a small window in the middle of the screen. I've tried several suggestions from other similar posts in EE but havn't found anything which works. The app always loads maximized.

At the moment I'm back to this

filename= Veridata_filepath

If FileExists(filename) Then
a = Shell(filename, vbMinimizedFocus)
 End If
BUt still get a maximised app, any suggestions??????Start Free Trial
