Excel: Using EXEC with Document Name Causes Macro Error

ID: Q75824

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 4.0

SUMMARY

Page 71 of the "Microsoft Excel Function Reference" version 3.0 manual and page 139 of the "Microsoft Excel Function Reference," version 4.0 manual incorrectly state

The following macro formula, where Sales is a Microsoft Word document, starts Word and loads the document Sales:

EXEC("Sales")

Currently, the EXEC macro command does not support the ability to launch an application using the name of a document created by that application. Only the name of an application can be passed as the argument.

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
