Thanks, I'll try that...but the file has already been renamed to "VSR.xls"...pretty short.
Try getting the path to the Excel file using BAPI's baShortFilename function. My guess is the path to the file isn't being fed to Excel97 in a way it can understand, and that if you send the short path to the file with your open command, it might just work.
