    Open Calculator Function in Mac for Excel

    Hi Everyone,

    I have created a spreadsheet in Windows, but have a few clients that are working in Mac for Excel 2011. I have created a button that opens the system calculator, but this is not working in the Mac Version. Does anyone know the code to open the Mac OS Calculator? Based upon what I've researched, will the code below open up the calculator?

    If that path is correct it will work. It may be better to use a script which does not rely on path:

    Hi Izandol,

    Thanks for your response.

    Just to clarify, do I just copy and paste the above code into the VBA editor without any declarations or arguments?

    I am using Windows and do not own a Mac, which is making this more difficult than it should be. When I paste the above code into the editor I get an compile error message that says 'Invalid Outside Procedure'.

    Thanks again for your time.

    It must of course be within a routine or you may not run it.
