RunApp

[craigiharper]

I am trying to create a macro that will open a report from
another application. I keep getting an error message about
the path i am using, could this be because i am trying to
access a central server and not running from my hard disk
or possibly because it is not a microsoft product i am
trying to open.

Thanks in advance

If you are trying to a word document in a macro the action
is "RunApp" and the command line would look something like
this.

"Path to word executable" "Document name"

ex. watch out for word wrap
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE"
"c:/my documents/test.doc"
