Is the file name Myspreedsheet or Myspreadsheet?
Make sure you've spelled it correctly.
Is it in a Folder named "Audit"?
Assuming the file is actually named MySpreadsheet, why not simply use:

Application.FollowHyperlink "c:\Audit\MySpreadsheet.xls"

1. You need to give a more full description of what you mean. I can't make
sense of it.

2. There are two possibilities: (a) you misspelled something, or (b) the
path you posted isn't the real path, and the real path contains spaces. If
the path contains spaces, you need to enclose it in quotes *within* the
string you pass to Shell. For example:

stAppName="Excel.exe ""C:\Path With Spaces\Myspreedsheet.xls"""

By doubling up the quotes in the quotes string, one quote is embedded.

Off-topic Comment:
The subject line of your post is uninformative and annoying. Most people
posting want help. Adding exclamation points doesnt make your post more
deserving than others'. A subject line summarizing the problem or topic is
much more useful.

Hi,
This post was really useful, my Access Form now works really well. However, to make it bullet-proof, I need to tweak it slightly so that if the user inputs a filepath that contains spaces the database can still cope. Can you help?

My code is like this...
________________________________________________________
Dim FileName As String
FileName = InputBox "Enter filepath","","c:\Dashboards\")

stAPPName = "excel.exe " & FileName & "Programme_Dashboard.xlsx"
Call Shell(stAPPName,1)
________________________________________________________

Can you tweak it slightly so that if they input C:\Documents and Settings\ into the inputbox it still works?

Many thanks in anticipation!
Ryan

Not sure but try adding quotes around the full path.

stAPPName = "excel.exe " & Chr(34) & FileName & "Programme_Dashboard.xlsx" &
Chr(34)

or do the same thing this way.
stAPPName = "excel.exe """ & FileName & "Programme_Dashboard.xlsx"""
