You could try this (based on the info I have):

Create run_xlsB.cmd (or name it as you wish) in the same folder where your .xlsb files are:

Code: Select all

@for /f "usebackq" %%f in (`dir /on /b *.xlsb`) do %%f

or

Code: Select all

@for /f "usebackq" %%f in (`dir /on /b *.xlsb`) do start "" %%f

See HELP CMD for other options if required.

This will search for *.xlsb files. You could change this to test*.xlsb if you wish. You could add path (test\*.xlsb for example).
