Shortcut to unknown Excelversion
Hi!
I have a shortcut to an Excelfile that is used by several users with different operating systems and different Excelversions. In the properties of the shortcut I want to write that Excel should open a new Excel instance. But my problem is that I dont know what Excel version the user are using. Is there a way to write this without writing the specific path as below? Shortcut\Properties\Target C:\Program\Office97\Office\EXCEL.EXE "MyPath\myfile.xla" In Start\run you are able to write just "Excel" to open a new Excel. Should be possible to write something similar in the shortcut? Thanks in advance! / Elisabeth |
