RE: [Talk] Launching sound file

[Rich McNeil]

The VBA Shell command won’t take a document file as its parameter…it must be of the form “program.exe parameters”.  However, Boston WorkStation’s Shell_  does, so I’d suggest adding an underscore to the end of the Shell command.   Rich McNeil Boston Software Systems 866 653 5105 www.bostonworkstation.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of White, Scott A Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 9:54 AM To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: [Talk] Launching sound file   Hello everyone,   I have a procedure that I want to call if a certain condition exists.
