I finally found a way to get it to work. I tested this with Procomm 4.7 and Excel 97, on Windows 95 and also NT 4.0: proc OpenExcel ; To start Excel without a file name: dos "start excel" HIDDEN ; To load a file into an already open Excel ; (if Excel is not running, it...

knob, Thank you for your help. At work, all machines have Excel 97 (as a part of Office 97), Windows NT 4.0 with SP6a and Procomm 4.7. run "excel.exe" does not work on any of the four machines I tried. Yes, the Excel file is always in the same place (on a network drive), but I...

I was wondering if any of you guys can tell me how to open Excel from an Aspect script without hard-coding the path to Excel.exe in the argument to the run command. The script needs to run on several machines which do not necessarily have Excel in the same directory. Thanks a lot.
