Simple Question....this way!! 1

Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell&quot

oShell.Run ("c:\Program Files\TestFolder\test.exe&quot

The problem here is that the gap between 'Program Files' is causing an error. If I were to run this 'test.exe' file in a folder with one name, like so:

oShell.Run ("c:\Work\TestFolder\test.exe&quot

The statement executes without a problem.

I want to stick with 'Program Files' in my path. Is there any way possible I can use to make this work? Maybe place extra quotes? Let me know folks....thanks a lot

Will this do it.
oShell.Run ("""c:\Work\TestFolder\test.exe""&quot

Hi,

or try:
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell&quot
path = "c:\Program Files\TestFolder\test.exe"
oShell.Run (path)

or:
oShell.Run("'c:\program files\testfolder\test.exe'&quot

Bye.

I'm not sure if this will work- but what about using the ASCII character for the space.

oShell.Run ("c:\Program%32Files\TestFolder\test.exe&quot

I'm not even sure if that is correct!!

Mise Le Meas,

If there is an space in your path u must do like this

oShell.Run ("""c:\Program Files\TestFolder\test.exe"" parameters go here&quot

this means that if u use Run menu it's like
"c:\Program Files\TestFolder\test.exe" parameters go here
