I'm not sure I understand. I have used this command successfully for quite awhile:

OR FILE('c:\program files\ibm\lotus\notes\notes.exe');

(This is actually the case that works on my PC). Further, I created a copy of notes.exe in the folder

c:\program files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Notes\

and then if I use the command

? FILE('c:\program files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Notes\notes.exe')

in the command window it returns .T. (although my machine is NOT 64 bit).
