Hi Sergey,
I don't understand why he needs these extra pair of quotes ?

lcFileName = "C:\test.xls"
oShell = CREATEOBJECT('WScript.Shell')
oShell.Run(lcFileName)

Will work just fine. It could be that OP created problem at first place by
doing typo like

MYFILE = "C:\MY FILE\TEST.XLS"
lcFileName = [MFILE]  &&MFILE<>MYFILE

BTW Thank you very much for this answers because it answered for me
few long unanswered questions; How to open TIF file with MSOV and also how to open XPS file with XPS viewer.

Well this WScript.Shell call answers them both :)
And was so simple.

lcFileName = 'C:\test.tif' && or = 'C:\test.xps'
oShell = CREATEOBJECT('WScript.Shell')
oShell.Run(lcFileName)

Works for both :)


I am guessing that running this shell call is the same as doing dbl-click
on any file which consecutively opens file with app associated with file extension.
Or I am wrong ?
