how can open the excel sheet from a specific directory.
while I set the default to the specific path but still and I got error not finding the location

if it is like this I got an error of location
loExcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Application") && Create the Excel object
loWorkbook = loExcel.workbooks.open("cards.xls")
loExcel.Visible = .T. && display Excel

however when I add the path as the following I do not get error. while I need to open from the default original path

loExcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Application") && Create the Excel object
loWorkbook = loExcel.workbooks.open("c:\temp\cards.xls")
loExcel.Visible = .T. && display Excel

Thank You
