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 CODE Dim File1 As Double File1 = Shell(path,vbNormalFocus) where path is "C:\Program Files\Som Other File With Spaces\File to Topen.exe" Hope that helps, This post has been edited by LoLucky: Dec 7 2004, 09:13 AM |

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 -------------------- |
