Re: [VB] Open the Device Manager
Device manger is a .msc file that is opened with Microsoft Managment Console (mmc.exe)
I am bringing data in to an Excel sheet via Winwedge using a USB/RS-232 converted. I wanted a button on the sheet to open the device manager so the user could find the com port.
The following macro worked for me.
Sub Open_Device_Mgr()
Dim RetValue As Long
RetValue = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc")
End Sub
(only 8 years later)

Well, you actually SAW that the thread is 8 years old. So why did you still reply to it?

Re: [VB] Open the Device Manager
I was looking for an answer to the same problem. When I searched for an answer the only hits I found were to the questions, but no answers. So after I researched what a .msc file was and realized what it took to launch it, I answered one of them for future reference.
