Hi,

I am using Shell function in VB to open the file.
shell(path of the exe,path&filename)

If the filename has spaces in between , I have a problem because the file name is truncated after spaces.hence the error "File not found"

I can't add Quotes "" before the path of the filename because it is a variable.

Can anyone help pls

Thank you
jai

Might help some to understand What you are looking for if you post your Code
You can use the Code button to post it correctly

As noted above i'm not sure what you are looking for But you can try



where path is "C:\Program Files\Som Other File With Spaces\File to Topen.exe"

Hope that helps,

location = Chr(34) + "C:\Program Files\My Program\Prog.exe" + Chr(34)

file = Chr(34) + Text1.Text + Chr(34)

Shell location + " " + file, vbNormalFocus

Shell "notepad ""C:\dir with spaces\test.txt""", vbNormalFocus
