    Launch Chrome from within Excel on a MAC?

    Hi,

    Using Windows 7/Excel 2010 I use the shell command to launch Chrome when a command button is clicked

    A colleague needs the same functionality but he uses an Apple Mac. Does anyone please know the equivalent format for launching Chrome on a Mac using Excel 2010? I've never used a Mac in my life and have no clue how to even find the location of chrome.exe (or even if it uses .exe)

    Thanks

    ChainsawDR,

    Untested, but try:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    That code will open google using the computer's default browser. If chrome has been set to the default browser, it should open the website using chrome.
    Hope that helps,
