Help with Network path not found

[dbsquared]

I have a simple JavaScript that is causing me headaches.
Here is the code

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function RunProg(CommandLine)
        {
         var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
         ws.run(CommandLine,1,false);
         return;
    }
</script>

this works perfectly if the structure of the path is like this

\\\\server\\sharename\\MailMerge\\mailmerge.exe
however if there is a space in the name like this:
\\\\server\\share name\\Mail Merge\\mailmerge.exe

it gives the error The Network path was not found.
I have scoured this site and the internet to no avail i am hoping someone can help me format the path so that it can have spaces in it as this will be the case.


Thanks everyone for your help

I think spaces must be represented as %20.

Thank you for your response.
I have tried the %20 and I still get the same error.

DO you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

What happens if you put the offending string in quotes?

There can be quoting problem even we know it needs to add: but how to add quote to it?

If it is called by some event handler, say on<event> (substitute <event> to whatever event it really is), you can do any one of these or some valid variants.
[tt]
on<event>="RunProg('\x22\\\\server\\share name\\Mail Merge\\mailmerge.exe\x22')"
on<event>='RunProg("\x22\\\\server\\share name\\Mail Merge\\mailmerge.exe\x22")'
on<event>="RunProg('&#x22;\\\\server\\share name\\Mail Merge\\mailmerge.exe&#x22;')"
on<event>='RunProg("&#x22;\\\\server\\share name\\Mail Merge\\mailmerge.exe&#x22;")'

on<event>='RunProg("\"\\\\server\\share name\\Mail
Merge\\mailmerge.exe\"")'
[/tt]
