AFAIK there is no other way. We can help guide you thru the steps (this is how I would do it): - create UserForm(s) to collect parameters - create a custom menu using Tools -> Customize with each item tied to a macro Each macro would open a userform. The click event of the OK button on the UserForm would shell Python. A slight alternative would be to have the macros call Windows Scripting Host files that would present the dialog and shell Python. A bigger alternative would be to have the macros shell Python and write the parameter collecting mechanism in Python. > or is there a _good_ way?! I take it that you don't enjoy VB programming. It certainly is more wordy and less flexible than Python, but for relatively small tasks like this not a big deal. I've written 10s of thousands of lines of VBA for Word and Access. Of course I prefer Python when I can use it. -- Bob Gailer 510-978-4454 _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
