I would simply like to execute a java class from within VBA on MAC.

In the MAC terminal one just types "java" and it executes the java command.

I tried:

t = "Macintosh HD:System:Library:Java:JavaVirtualMachines:1.6.0.jdk:Contents:Home:bin:java"
MacScript (t)

or

   t = "Macintosh HD:System:Library:Java:JavaVirtualMachines:1.6.0.jdk:Contents:Home:bin:java"
   shell (t)

but get runtime error 5 Invalid procedure call or argument.

I guess this is because 1.6.0.jdk is not simply a folder which I can include in the path – but I am not sure.

How would I have to call java from within VBA?

once this works I need to actually call: java myFile

How do I include the complete path for the java command and then the complete path for myFile?

Many thanks

    You can’t call a Java function from VBA unless you use a run time bridge like this JavaBridge or you can use Web Services to wrap your VBA.
