Event Button Follow up

I got this working now. What I ended up doing was changing the folder name to contain no spaces and the file name to contain no spaces.

Example would be:
Process.Start("WINWORD.exe" , "R:\Attachments\Cutlist\PorcessReport.doc")

Thank you
for your help
Gene

I set up the button and when clicked it opens Word fine. I have tried to set different file paths and files in and every time I run the event it keeps looking bck to the C:\client803\client for the path.

Is this a default path in epicor for this sort of thing?

I can't figure out why if the path is changed to look else where it keeps going to the C:\client.

The last one I tried was written like this:

Process.Start("WINWORD.exe" , "R:\Attachments\Cut list\3Leg Service Deck\Option 1 Cut - Del.xls")


and it still looked at the C:\client803\client instead.

Thank You
Gene
It may be that the "R:" drive mapping is the problem. The issue with the drive mapping is all users have to have the same mapped drive and Windows does not always resolve the mapping correctly. I always use a network share UNC, i.e. \\[server]\[share]\[filepath]

Gene,

It looks like in your example, your're starting Word, but trying to open an Excel file, so there may be an issue there.

When I used the Process.Start command in VS, the second parameters it accepts is for command line arugments. Have you tried just using Process.Start(filename)?
i.e. Process.Start("R:\Attachments\Cut list\3Leg Service Deck\Option 1 Cut - Del.xls")
