Problems running .exe file - Resolved

You may want to try using ShellExecute instead so you can explititly pass parameters.

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
 
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL As Long = 1
Private Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED As Long = 3
 
Private Sub OpenSomething()
    ShellExecute Me.hWnd, "Open", "C:\Test.xls", "/something /somethinglese /3", "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub
