Paul,

NativeProcess should let you launch the actual application if you know the path 
to the application.

Would that work for you?

    My goal is to receive the file on the client and open Excel.
    
    For the moment i did;
    
    //            navigateToURL(u, "_blank");
               var objDownloadFile:FileReference = new FileReference;
               objDownloadFile.download(u,strFileName + ".xlsx");
    
    which will allow the user to download the file. It would be nice to give 
them the option to open it from the application.

    Subject: Re: migrating to AIR when using url "POST" request
    At a higher-level, what is the user goal? Can you open Excel itself or does 
it have to be a browser window?

    In many places in our applications we use the navigateToURL method to load 
another browser window with Excel Spreadsheets and other items we generate from 
code on our website. We invariably use "POST" instead of "GET" for various 
reasons, some of which cannot be converted to "GET."
    
    Where can I find information on how to convert;
    
    var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_RootDomain + urlExcelExport);
    u.data = variables;
    u.method = "POST";
    
    navigateToURL(u, "_blank");
    
    to something which will work from AIR? Perhaps URLloader?
