executing word from a batch file to run a macro

[mark mcfarlane]

I would like to start up MS Word, load a particular document, run a macro in the document, then close word and the document.

All of this needs to be performed from a batch file (or WSH file) that can be executed from the task scheduler

I have the macro working (thanks to Peter Hewett) and I have a Windows Hosting Shell .wsh script that does all kinds of other fun things, I just can't figure out how to do the 5 steps outlines above from the .wsh file

Any ideas how I get Word to run a macro on a document from within a shell script

Thanks

Mark

It depends on how the script has set a pointer to the documents, y're trying
to
run a macro from.

Can you post back the part of the code in which the batch processing is done
or how
the documents are opened/created?
