Scott, You need to use the shortFilePath() function to return the path in a format shell will understand. best, Chipp -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: File location using go shell (startc:\..)
Hi Scott, I have been using the go shell command to open up distant files deep in the Windows filing architecture, but having problems getting past the folder program files Seems I can't get past a folder with two words, eg. Program Files go shell (start c:/program_files/appz_folder/mainframe.exe) doesn't get me there, but go shell (start c:/appfolder/mainframe.exe) works how do I rewrite the file location so runrev understand the location of the file? very strange that it works at all ;-) Try: GET shell (start c:\program_files\appz_folder\mainframe.exe) if the result empty then ## NO xuccess ## do your error thing... end if ... shell on windows needs the BACKslash for pathnames. Hope that helps.

Re: File location using go shell (startc:\..)
You shouldn't need a start before an EXE in Windows. If you specify an EXE file name, Windows just runs the program. Start is for when all you know is a document name, and you want Windows to go find the associated EXE for you. I've never seen anyone successfully use an underscore to replace a space. Standard Windows procedure is to put the file name (complete with spaces) in double quotes. :) Jon Klaus Major wrote: Hi Scott, I have been using the go shell command to open up distant files deep in the Windows filing architecture, but having problems getting past the folder program files Seems I can't get past a folder with two words, eg.

Not 100% sure, but I'd try quoting the problematic file names: put start quote c:/program files/appz_folder/mainframe.exe quote into temp go shell (temp) -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
