Thanks for responding. That doesn't work. The error message says that
the requested file is not an Excel-compatible file. The file I want to open
is:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"
I tried your method also with the following: (Outlook Express)
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"
Thanks again. Otto

I know how to open an Excel Workbook file.
What I want to do is open a non-Excel file when I know the full file
name:
"C:\ThePath\FileName.xxx"
Thanks for your time. Otto
