Hi,
I am trying to use ShellExecute function to invoke the ax program.
The code below works perfect:
ShellExecute(0&, "open", "ax.exe", "C:\2runtemp2.run", "C:\axfolder", 5)
The code below does NOT work:
ShellExecute(0&, "open", "ax.exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop\requiredfiles\2runtemp2.run", "C:\axfolder", 5)
Because of some design issues, the arguement "must" have spaces in its full path. Even though I write the path in double quotations, I can not prevent this error.
Any help on the error is much appreciated. Thanks,
jon

ShellExecute(0&, "open", "ax.exe", """C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop\requiredfiles\2runtemp2.run"" ", "C:\axfolder", 5)
ShellExecute(0&, "open", "ax.exe", """C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop\requiredfiles\2runtemp2.run"" ", "C:\axfolder", 5)
-
-
Dim strPath
-
Dim retval
-
strPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop\requiredfiles\2runtemp2.run"
-
retval = ShellExecute(0&, "open", "ax.exe", Chr(34) & strPath & Chr(34), "C:\axfolder", 5)
-
may not need the chr(34)...not sure
The code below does NOT work:
ShellExecute(0&, "open", "ax.exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop\requiredfiles\2runtemp2.run", "C:\axfolder", 5)
Not sure if this would work .... try using the "short" folder name, ie, "C:\Docume~1\" instead of "C:\Documents and Settings\" .... ???
