I'm trying to work out how to launch an application on a mac from Excel 2011. &nbsp;On Windows 7 using the shell command in Excel 2010 does the job perfectly. The only response I get on the mac is that the path can't be found.<br />
I have a simple application called GetPath that lives on the desktop. I use the following code:<br />
<br />
Shell &quot;Macintosh HD:Users:MyName:Desktop:Ge<wbr />tPath&quot;<br />
<br />
Is it a possibility that for some reason the hard drive has another name? and if so, how can I find out?<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.
