Open a file with a different application

Hi,

I want to open a html file thru excel application.Can anyone tell me how to go about it.

Thanks.

Use the Shell function.

I'm not to sure what Excel's path is, but...

Code:

---

Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\...\Excel.exe C:\htmlfile.htm",1

---

It's something like that, just replace with the correct path.

Thanks a lot. It works....

Hi

You can get the path to Excel from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\InstallRoot and the key name is "Path"

This is for Office 2000.
