Actually you'll need "Maximised" (note the s instead of z) unless there's a US version of the xtra for download. BuddyAPI is from an Australian developer and we speak funny sometimes ;) Also I noticed you used a .txt file as the test file. Neither word or excel will open with this file only notepad in general. (you probably knew that but was worth mentioning) You will need to look for the application's location using baFindApp( "doc" ) baFindApp( "xls" ), doc may return the wordpad location however so I tend to use baFindApp( "dot" ) then use the lingo "open file with" command or baShell for more control.
