If I open the file with single quotes, like inputFile = input.Workbooks.Open('C:\Folder\sheet.xls') everything works fine. My problem now is that the location of the .xls file has a variable name, like inputFile = input.Workbooks.Open("C:\#{var)\sheet.xls"). When I try this, I get an error saying that the file cannot be found. It seems that the 'open' method will only work with single quotes, but to signify a variable in a string in Ruby you have to use double quotes. Has anyone discovered a way around this? Thanks in advance for any help. - Shelton --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
