ACCESSING MS WORD FROM VFP NOT ALLOWING SPACES IN DOC NAME

[Nicholls]

I am trying to access MS Word from Visual Foxpro using the RUN command. I have the word document titles stored in a table. I can link to Word fine if the document names do not contain spaces. It stops at the space and tries to find the doc name up to the first space. It seems to accept spaces in folder names in the path statement. How can I get it to accept spaces in the document names?

Here is an example of my code, which doesn't work..

docnameloc ="C:\My Documents\Word Mail Merge test.doc"
wordpath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE"
! /N3 &wordpath &docnameloc

It works fine if I have a document name "WordMailMergetest.doc"

Try this:

[tt]docnameloc ='"C:\My Documents\Word Mail Merge test.doc"'
wordpath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE"
! /N3 &wordpath &docnameloc
