Hi,

if what you are trying to do is start Excel and load a file into it then use the Shell FUNCTION like this :

Shell "Path to the exe" & " " & "Path to the file", vbMaximizedFocus

Should give you something like :

Shell "C:\Excel.exe MyDoc.xls", vbMaximizedFocus

NOTE : ALL of the paths must be in short path format so use the API call GetShortPathName...


Hope thats what you wanted...
