Process not working

[aks_1610]

Hi all,

I am using the following code to open a word file using Process Class :

Cursor.Current = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor
 
'Creating the new instance of a process class
Dim startProg As New Process
 
'Prividing Application Name and File name to be opened
startProg.StartInfo.FileName = progAssociated
startProg.StartInfo.Arguments = " E:\PROJECTS\VSS22NDCENTURY\DOCUMENTS\Requirement Management\T-SRS-0001-034.doc"
 
Trace.Flush()
startProg.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized 'Maximized state
 
'Starting the Process
startProg.Start()
Trace.Flush()
 
Cursor.Current = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Default

where progAssociated is coming out to be
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE"

ny idea....

So....?

You haven't told us how you are getting the ProgAssociated value.

thanks for the reply,

I've created a module where I pass the file name in a function and the function returns the program associated with the file being passed. The values are coming out with no problems.

In this case:
Wen i try to start my process WORD opens up but it do not open the file and gives the following error(see the file attached).

Try testing the path using File.Exists(path) to see if it exists, (you might want to remove the space character just before "E:\..." in your path string).

I've already tried it...

why not just:

Process.Start("E:\PROJECTS\VSS22NDCENTURY\DOCUMENTS\Requirement Management\T-SRS-0001-034.doc")
