I also should note that I added the excel file to the project-- that might have helped.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions!! I got it to work finally, and I feel silly because it is sooo simple: ShellExecute(NULL, "open" ,"Waypoint Tool.xls", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Lab1\\My Documents\\", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Absolutely nothing. I tried even that third line you gave with "open" instead of "NULL" in the second parameter and it still didn't work. Also, I tried as before with "excel" in the third parameter, "Tool.xls" in the fourth, and the rest as you gave me-- it opens excel but says that it cannot...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions -- I can't tell you how much I appreciate having something to try. I am running out of ideas. So far nothing has worked. So I am looking into other options. Happy Thanksgiving!

I found a thread which says that basically the problem lies with the spaces that are in the path name. I tried what the thread suggests, which is to add another set of quotes, but it didn't work.http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/Access/microsoft.public.access.formscoding/2007-05/msg01211.html

Thanks, 2ffat. I tried both lines you gave. It doesn't do anything at all. Before, with the original line, it would at least open Excel. But if I take out "Excel.exe" it doesn't do anything.

It just occured to me that I put in NULL for the handle. The link you gave me from the FAQs says that it should be the handle for the parent window -- what does that mean?

This is odd though -- when I put in the file name "Calculate Distance.xls", which is another file in excel that I have, it says that it cannot find "Calculate.xls". Then another box opens that says it cannot find "Distance.xls". Basically, it is reading them as two different files.

Thank you for those links. I had not read those, but I read about ShellExecute() on MSDN after posting this, and it was basically the same thing. I am doing just what one of the examples said, but it still says it cannot find the file.

I am using Borland Builder C++ 2009. I want to open a particular file from Microsoft Excel during runtime. The following line of code opens Excel, but there's a message saying it cant find the file "Tool.xls" -- I have tried giving it the entire path for the file, and it still can't find it...

Okay, I found there was another problem, not with the AnsiString() conversion function. Sorry, everyone. I think I need to wait a little longer before I post.

Found a great edit tool called Jhead. Ended up using the source code, which is in C, and got it to work. http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/

I am using CodeGear C++ Builder 2009. I am getting an error, and I don't understand why. Here's my code: if (angle < 0) { angle = 360 - angle; } AnsiString zero; AnsiString str = AnsiString(angle); int dot = AnsiPos(".",str); AnsiString rounder = str.SubString(dot + 2, 1)...

Well, I found what was wrong. The LoadXML() function couldn't find the xml specified. I moved it into the debug folder and problem solved!

I am using a dll which allows me to create files containing both images and data about the images. I don't get an error when I run my program. However, when I go to view the files in a special viewer, it won't show a particular section. So, something is wrong with the way that I am entering the...

I found a great site for this. Using the source code provided, I can read the information in the exif. Now, I need to figure out how to edit. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/cexif.aspx http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/cexif.aspx

I am not sure if this is the best place to ask this. I am using Borland Builder 2007. I want to edit the exif (header file) for jpgs from a digital camera. It would be nice to access the information (such as the camera type) and then delete it so that it is just a normal jpg. Just wondering if...

So, I figured out there was a problem with the dll I was using. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.

I am using CodeGear RAD Studio Borland Builder C++. I have a dll file that I have linked implicitly. I want to be able to use the classes and functions inside this library, but everytime I try, I get a first chance exception at run time stating, "Exception class EAccessViolation with message...

Thank you, 2ffat. I included that file and it totally works now!!
