Well, apparently you are correct in your assumption. According to my VBA 
mentore this is a long time bug in VBA; -at some point ShellExecute got entered 
in lowercase and VBA now thinks it should be that way. Constants take 
precedence so the fix is (apparently) to enter...

  Public Const ShellExecute As Long = 0

..at the top of a module, choose Debug>>Compile (ignore the objection), then 
delete the line. Doesn't seem to work, though, so I'll get back to him and 
shift my focus to your other suggestions meanwhile...
