Hi All,

Assuming I know the directory of the file I want to access (i.e a word document), can I use VBscript to open the file? If so what is the code to perform this task.

Thank you in advance.

James

OPTION EXPLICIT
dim fso, ws, file_to_open, OFFICE_PATH

Set ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'Your path to Winword.exe may be different or even better it may already be
'in your %PATH% Environment variable and youy can dump this variable
OFFICE_PATH = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office"

'You need to quote paths with spaces by using Chr(34) which is HEX for double quote.
file_to_open = CHR(34) & "C:\my documents\archive\my dog.doc" & CHR(34)

ws.Run CHR(34)& OFFICE_PATH & "\winword.exe" & CHR(34) & file_to_open, 0, "FALSE"
