You will need to replace
C:\Userguide.r1w with your path and file name This should work if the file associations are correct; that is, if you can manually open the .r1w file by double-clikcing its icon. -- Gary's Student "PaulW" wrote: Hi Gary, thanks for the quick responce, all this is doing is opening the MS-DoS window launching the cmd.exe file within the System32 folder?

Hi Gary,
I've been testing and the code works as long as there are no breaks in the folder name. Is there any fix to this.

Sub Macro1() ChDir ("c:\Documents and Settings\littlegary\Desktop") x = Shell("cmd.exe /c Hello"" ""there.doc", 1) End Sub First, the blanks can be embedded in ChDir Second, notice the quad-quoting for the file name in the Shell statement -- Gary''s Student "PaulW" wrote: Hi Gary, I've been testing and the code works as long as there are no breaks in the folder name.
