title: Connection to RDP from Excel
body: <p>I see many forums talking about starting Remote Desktop Connection from Excel file. </p>
  
  <p>I also saw this code, which is fine and works.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Sub OpenRDP()
  Dim MyRDP As Variant
  
  MyLink = "c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe /v:" &amp; ActiveCell.Value
  
  MyRDP = Shell(MyLink, 1)
  
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, in my Excel file, in one column I have HOST address, and next to it is a column with passwords. </p>
  
  <p>My question is: is it possible to start RDP and pass to it host IP address and password? If it is, how is it done? </p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
