Making phone calls right from Excel

[Peter]

Does anybody know of a little program to help me make phone calls (via the
windows dialer and a modem) by double-clicking on a phone number in an excel
table???

Thanks, Peter

AppActivate (Appname)
If Err <> 0 Then
Err = 0
TaskID = Shell(AppFile, 1)
If Err <> 0 Then MsgBox "Can't start " & AppFile
End If

Application.SendKeys "%n" & CellContents, True

' Click Dial button
