I am trying to append from an excel spreadsheet and am having problems with the long file names in windows. Below is the code. Let me know if any of you have run across this problem.

Thanks

xlsfile = GETFILE("xls", "Import File","Import")
.
.
append from &xlsfile type xls

This gives me an error "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword." because of the spaces in the macro substitution

also tried

Append from ? type xls

but if the user clicks cancel an error occurs, although this allows the long file names.
