Hey,
I have a .ods file and a script(myscript) saved in the same path
The ods file has a macro which executes
Shell ("./myscript")
However, when i run the macro i get the message
"Basic Runtime Error: File not found"

Pls let me knw y this is happening?

Doesn't the function , Shell( "./myscriot") supposed to work on the scrpit which is in the same directory path as the .ods file.
