Start office (or other) program with named empty file.

[anrver]

Hi,
Is there a way to start a program and to make sure that the file will be saved with a name that was pre-defined.

I have a wizzard who collects information. Depending on that info a filename is generated and a program is selected (word, excel, paint, powerpoint etc) . At the end of the wizzard i want to launch the apllication with an empty screen. When saving this document the pre-defined filename must be presented.

Many thanks

You can use objects such as Excel, Word... or you can use a process. You're probably better off with objects if you need to use the properties and methods within the object.

The process is similar to the old shell command.

I hope this helps.
