in odoo doesn't work:

def runMacro(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    if os.path.exists("bilan\\bilan.xls"):
        os.system('start  bilan\\bilan.xls')
    else:
        raise osv.except_osv(_('Error!'),
                             _('error msg'))

I have an excel file that contains a macro, I want to run the execution of this file by clicking on a button!

no, but I think that odoo is limited in impoting and exporting data,

I want to launch a system action for windows from odoo, like run an excel file not only import and export...
