Hello Roger,
RM> I have a small programme, Foreign.exe in C:\Windows which I want to link 
to a
RM> toolbar button in Word 7.
RM> My macro attempt is a disaster and throws up "syntax error", can anyone 
advise,
RM> please.  "Word Basic Error = 100"
RM>
RM> I tried     Sub main
RM>             C:\windows\foreign.exe
RM>             End sub
RM>
I don't know much about these things, but I use the following to
put a Bible program onto my toolbar. It works. Adjust it to
serve yourself. It looks like you are missing the SHELL and
quotes.
Sub Main
      If AppIsRunning("Online Bible") Then
      AppActivate "Online Bible"
      Else
      ChDir "C:\Bible"
      Shell "C:\Bible\Biblewin.exe"
      End if
End Sub
Hope it helps.
Gerald
