title: Can excel launch .bat file? (VBA, macro etc)
body: <p>How I can launch a <code>.bat</code> file from <a href="/questions/tagged/excel" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged 'excel'" rel="tag">excel</a>? For example via an event or a button? </p>
  
  <p>And is it possible to build a <code>.bat</code> file into Excel? For example, I build a launchable <code>.bat</code> file from Excel, a user downloads my Excel file from a server, and then this Excel file can launch the <code>.bat</code> file?</p>
