Automatic Open, Run, and Close

  Asked By: Magenta    Date: Mar 04    Category: MS Office    Views: 571
  

I want to place an icon on my desktop. When I click on it, I want it
to open Excel 2003, run a specific macro (which does a printing related
task), and then close Excel.

I only want the above to happen when I click on that particular icon.
I don't want the above to happen simply whenever I open Excel.

I thought about adding the macro to the Excel start directory, but then
the marco would run evey time I opened Excel.

Any ideas regarding how to set up this icon?
