VBA & the Shell command

R

Rodrugg

In the VBA help an example is given for launching
Calculator using the Shell command.
Shell("MacintoshHD:Applications:Calculator"). But this does
not work. My guess is that it doesn't work because
Calculator.app is a packaged application, so Shell sees it
as a directory and not an executable file. Does anyone know
how to launch a packaged app using the Shell command?
