Open PCDMIS Program with a Hyperlink in Excel

cheesiechanman
So I just took on the daunting task of taking every single part that we measure ongoing capability on from physical files to excel files. Each file has the .PRG file for each part #. Now what I want to do is create a hyperlink in excel so that when the link is clicked it opens the specified program.

I can add the link. But when I click the link the program doesn't open. I get a spinning wheel like its trying to open it but then nothing. Is there any way to open .PRG files through excel? Any advise?

  • You can launch PC-DMIS with VBA in Excel. You will have to add the correct .dll or .tlb (can't remember that exactly) file into the object browser.

    The existing vbscript examples on this forum will be a big help if you choose this route, but note that VBA is different than VBscripts.

    I'm on a work computer so I dont have any examples to pass along at this moment, I'll try to remember to come back to this later on. If you search around here you might find some stuff in the meantime
