It is inside the _environ.vcx Just stick it to your form. Rename it to something more friendly, like "xlslauncher". Then select mycursor copy to c:\data\mycursor type xl5 local cExelFile cExcelFile = 'c:\data\mycursor.xls' thisform.xlslauncher.shellexecute(cExcelFile) If you have OpenOffice installed (and not Excel), it will launch the spreadsheet app that comes with OO and show the spreadsheet. Contrarywise, if you have Excel, it will launch Excel. The same goes for a pdf or doc file.
