RE: lingo-l filextra FileRunApp ms office : problems with spaces in file paths
sorry, wrong version went out a moment ago. it turns out that C:\testdir\volume 1\test.doc works when it's C:\testdir\volume~1\test.doc Does anyone know a way to return dos style paths to director? thanks Julian I'm having problems with opening office files where spaces appear in the file path. FileXtra does it's job fine but the Office apps [word / excel, etc.] report not finding the files after it launches.

Hi, yep, that works in filextra too. many thanks tim. julian I think the reason is that when MS apps take the filename it sees the space as the end of the parameter, by passing the parameter inside quotation marks, this is avoided.

Buddy again... use baShortFileName. I use it in both the application and the file.

Does anyone know a way to return dos style paths to director? Buddy API's baShortFileName will do this.
