Hibernate Win7 via VBA [Excel]?

Question

I'm looking for a way to put my notebook [Win7] into hibernation via VBA [Excel 2010]. I was searching for a solution but couldnt find a handy one. I was playing with the SendKeys method but no luck. Then the Shell "C:\WINDOWS\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState", vbHide gave me Compile error: Invalid outside procedure message. The Function ExitWindowsEx gives only the choices to log off, shut down and reboot but no hibernation as far as I know. Thank you for your help in advance.

I've just successfully hibernated my comp. Here is the magnificent code:

Option Explicit

Declare Function SetSuspendState Lib "powrprof.dll" _
(ByVal Hibernate As Boolean, ByVal ForceCritical As Boolean, ByVal DisableWakeEvent As Boolean) As Boolean

Sub Yoo()
    Dim value_hibernate As Integer
    value_hibernate = SetSuspendState(True, False, False)
    If value_hibernate <> 1 Then MsgBox "Hibernation has failed."
End Sub

Some comments said that its better going with the SetSuspendState than the PowerState one.

Have fun hibernating your machines via VBA! Yaay!
