what are you wanting to do???
you can open Word and a documant and run a macro in one command line like so:
' Launches Word and opens a specified document
' And runs an optional macro. the macro could print out the word doc and quit
Dim retval As Variant
Dim DocName, MacroName As String
' Drive and Full path to name and location of Word document
DocName = "F:\Somefolder\MyDoc.doc"
'Optional Macro Name. Note Word Macro name cannot have any spaces in it.
'MacroName = "/M" & "MacroName"
'Note full path to Word including Drive and folder
retval = Shell("c:\Microsoft Office97\Office\WinWord.exe" & " " & DocName & MacroName, vbNormalFocus)
