The latest is a Run Process command to open Excel a user maintained spreadsheet. The current working Command Line in the Run Process action is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE \\servername\drive\folder\filename.xls I need to rewrite this to function for multiple versions of excel not just from the OFFICE11 install directory. I have tried many interactions with no success even some that work from Start Run in windows but not from the User tool.
