Excel Marco/Add-In Question

Hi,

I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is possible, but if it is I KNOW someone here can help me out!

I have an Excel add-in "Transfer Data From AS/400". When this add-in is installed it places a selection on the "Data" menu "Transfer Data From AS/400". When this menu item is selected it opens a dialogue box requesting the name of a ".tto" file containing the transfer request info.

Problem - I would like to create a macro that will call this menu item and pass on the information requested in the dialogue box.

I have tried recording a macro, but it doesn't seem to see any of these actions. When I'm done recording the macro I open it in the VBA editor and the module contains the "sub" and "end sub" statement...that's it.

Am I attempting to do the impossible? I don't think so, but obviously my expertise is greatly lacking in this area!

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Steve



 
I'm sure if you could provide the source code of the Add-In, it should be possible to adapt it to your requirements.

Is the code protected and does it have a copyright ?
