I inquired about this the other day, and got an answer but it still is not working for me. I am making a VB form with a button that will launch a excel sheet with its current project ID being the name of the excel sheet. I have tried SHELLEXEC {Project.ProjectID.scrvalue}.xls nothing happens.
Tried SHELLEXEC c:\folder\Project.ProjectID.scrvalue}.xls where "folder" is the folder where the actual worksheet is stored. This combination opens the folder like explorer would, but does not launch the excel program.
Tried SHELLEXEC exel.exe This launches excel correctly but obviously I am not specifying the file I need.
Still need help.
