Using START, CALL etc commands in Shell gives me error "Run TimeError 53; File Not Found".
My Code is like
Sub test() FName = "D:\ARKQ.html" Shell "start " & FName End Sub But when I run this code, it gives me File Not Found Error. Please help me with this error. The same happens with "call" command also. even if I simply run the code: Shell "start" it shows the same error, so I assume I have to give the full path of the program "start" ?? |

Something like this should work:
Sub test() Dim strFile As String strFile = "D:\ARKQ.html" Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE " & """" & strFile & """", 1 End Sub RBS "Riyas Majeed" wrote in message ...

I am sure it is possible, but have no ready made code at
hand and will need to Google this. Normally you would use GetObject etc., but not sure that will work with IExplorer. You probably will need a Windows API. RBS "Riyas Majeed" wrote in message ...

This webpage seems to have the information to sort this out:
