Hi All
I have a button which launches a csv as an excel file:
Launch("Filepath")
What I would like to do is have the same button launch 2 files at the same time (or one after the next) so that the 2nd file can run a macro to copy data from the csv to the excel
How do i adapt the launch function to launch 2 files?
Thanks
Matt
@Matt22365 ,
You can try simply repeating that
Launch("File1"); Launch("File2)"
or if you want a delay launch a timer after the first and then the second OnTimerEnd.

Hi @WarrenBelz
Thanks for getting back to me
I tried repeating but it only opens the 2nd file, I believe its because it is launching in the same tab, so the 2nd file overwrites the 1st
Yes - you are correct - it is a while since I have struck that one.
I also just tried the timer - opens in the same tab - so there is really no solution to your problem.
Just after I replied to you I thought I would try "Download" rather than "Launch".
Download has made it so the 2 files open on different tabs so i didnt try the timer but i will definitely look into that in the future
The only annoyance is that the files open in the online version rather than desktop which means there is still a manual step to open the files in Desktop so the macros will work but I can love with that for now
Thanks for your help
