Can an Outlook macro make reference to an .exe

[Dave Neve]

Hi

I'd like to incorporate a small .exe within the Outlook interface.

I guess I would need a macro. Problem is I can't write them.

Could sm kindly give me a few lines to execute an .exe, the address of which
is

C:\Program Files\nicknameXP.exe

I'm pretty sure I can incorportate the macro and put it into a menu once I
have it.

Thanks in advance.
