The Excel template is in a subdirectory (under the exe). The template is in the same directory that the result file is saved in.

>You shouldn't need Run As Administrator. Where are the Excel template and result files saved?

>>We have a small VFP9 app that gathers data and writes it out to an Excel file (opens a template Excel file, updates the file then writes it out under a new name). The app works fine in XP but we are having a problem running it under Windows 7.
>>
>>We have the shortcut to the exe set to "Run as Administrator" - that got us to the point where the system could open the template Excel file but it hangs at that point.
>>
>>What am I missing? TIA for your help!
