RE: Adding a Dos command in EXCEL

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Gareth:

If you can put your ping commands into a batch (.bat) file, we can show you
how to drive the commands from Excel and capture the information.

into Excel 2003 VB plugin that just needs me to click the link and all it
does is start a ping with a IP that is desplayed in cell C7 just needs to
display the ping, no report printouts, or saving the info anywhere nothing
just execute Ping with IP in cell C7 and display the normal Dos box with the
results.....

Hi all

I dont know if this can easily be done But i hope it can and someone can
assist me.
I wish to add a command in a Excel spread***
*ping* - Im sure you guys know the command Basically a Dos command the sends
packets and gets a responce from a system.

How i would like to do this is as follows.
I have a Rather Large database of systems and thier IP addresses Each has a
ID assigned
On a setion of this document i have a Collection of Vlookup and other
commands such as =(CONCATENATE(MID(C7,1,((LEN(C7))-2)),"6"))
ETC... What i would like to have is a Link that i simply need to click that
will ping the IP that is brought up for a Specific code that i enter. Lets
assume first which im sure will make things alot more simple what i want to
add is a command that executes a Ping with a IP that is located in a cell...

So something like *Ping commandline parameters* (C7) *(C7) being the
location of the IP address.

I hope you guys can assist me in this and im sure i'll want to kick my own
ass when i see how its done....

Thanks alot for the assistance.
