Ben, I reckon you have to protect the string with the space space somehow.
maybe with \" ?? stAppName = "C:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\Mapinfow.exe " + " \"P:\Shared Information\LSDDatabase\LSD\LSD.MBX\" " or instead, try to escape the space somehow. I dont know how to escape it exactly, but I am sure it works somehow with " \" ' \' "" > Hi list, > > This is not a question I really want to ask, but it's > been bothering me. > > stAppName = "C:\Program > Files\MapInfo\Professional\Mapinfow.exe " + > "P:\Shared Information\LSDDatabase\LSD\LSD.MBX" > > Call Shell(stAppName, 1) > > My access program says it can't find file "Shared"!
