How does that make any sense at all? If you double-click on that file name, the system isn't going to know that it's supposed to bring up Excel. Excel only registers its well-known extensions. If you email that file to someone else, they won't know how to open it either. > I could rename it but I suspect the name isn't the issue since this code > works fine on my 2008 laptop with the .P file.

Is it possible your 2008 laptop had had the registry changes necessary to associate .P files with Excel, but your current laptop does not? — Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
