i have the following code

tmpsheet = getobject('','excel.sheet')
xlapp = tmpsheet.application
xlapp.visible = .t.
xlapp.workbooks.open(filename_)

filename_ is '\pinktemp\61332206.xls' gives me an OLE error as File Not Found

but if i give the drive letter 'e:\pinktemp\61332206.xls' then it is works just fine.

my default has been already set as the E drive, so where is it actually looking and how do i make it work without actually specifying the drive letter.
