Sort of like below $PATH$ + $filename$ + $excel extension$ C:\test\ myfilename .xls Becomes C:\test\myfilename.xls Just a thought Gordon M.

A key point I forgot to mention is that the application runs on web so many it leaves me with lesser options. I was exploring on DDE and OLE to my disappointment I found later that these are not supported over web. Then I switched to running a report using the Open Window action on an Active Link. But here too I face a problem that the user has to rename the file from <filename>.rep to <filename>.xls and do a save. Is there any way I can force it always to save with a .xls. I have seen a same posting on the same requirement. Hope to see some ideas.
