Good morning to you all,
The problem : i use the shell command and i used, with W98, to use the DOS
name when there was a space in the file / folder name ( ex : Program~1 for
Program Files). With XP, I don't find that sort of replacement name when i
run command and then DIR command to reach the DOS names of the files /
folder. How could i do to use correctly the shell command with files /
folders with a space in their name ? Thank you.

Try enclosing the name of the file (with the complete path) within
quotes.

Mike,
I proceeded so :
Dim Myapp as string
Dim App as variant
Myapp = "C:\Program~1\A ccess_2000\Offi ce\Msaccess.exe
C:\Myfolder\mya pplication.exe"
App=Shell(Myapp ,3)
It worked fine with W98, but not with XP. XP seems not to know "Program~1"
for "program files" and to refuse the space if i use "Program Files"

The filename would be "progra~1 ", 8 characters in MSDOS names :)
Add extra quotes... (I think you need extra quotes around each part, the
program and the command-line argument if they have any spaces in the
names)
eg..
Myapp = Chr(32) & "C:\Program~1\A ccess_2000\Offi ce\Msaccess.exe " &
Chr(32) & " C:\Myfolder\mya pplication.exe"

regards,

You need to embed the quotes in the string, to do this you double them up
so either
MyApp = """C:\Progr am Files\Access_20 00\Office\Msacc ess.exe""" _
& " C:\Myfolder\mya pplication.mdb"
App=Shell(Myapp ,3)
or
const D_QUOTE = """"
MyApp = D_QUOTE & "C:\Program Files\Access_20 00\Office\Msacc ess.exe""" _
& D_QUOTE & " C:\Myfolder\mya pplication.mdb"
App=Shell(Myapp ,3)
Should do it

I just ran across this.
#1 <DBColumn> 1 </DBColumn>
#2 <DBColumn> </DBColumn>
The data for #1 will be parsed and returned as " 1 ". I get a sequence of
Element/Text/EndElement.
The data for #2 will not be returned. I get a sequence of
Element/Whitespace/EndElement.
Why is the data (which happens to be spaces) between my start and end tags
being misinterpreted?

Hi All,
I noticed if file path has a white space, for example "C:\my document
\test.txt", the function File.Exists(filePath) always return false in
release mode. How could I make this function work for the file which
is located in a direcotry with a white space?
Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
