MI-L MapBasic and Excel

[Cathy Coldrey]

 Hi,
I am writting a MapBasic programme that I want to open a document in Excel as 
an external document. I can open Excel by using the run programme comand, but 
am uncertain how to then open a specific .xls file at the same time. Has anyone 
attempted to solve a problem like this before? If so could you shed some light 
on the subject?
Many thanks
:) Cathy
