>Assuming, lcfilename is something like: "C:\Program Files\My Long Path\Myexe.exe" the syntax for the run command would be either

oShell.Run Chr(34) & lcfilename & Chr(34)

or

oShell.Run """ & lcfilename & """

I prefer the former as it's easier to read.

Hi George,

Thanx for the chr(34) tip. How would you script for a run of:
%systemroot%\mycio\agent\HtmlDlg.exe -Url="myui://ScanNow.htm" -ResDll="myScnUi.Eng" -Param="ScanObject,VT_BSTR,C:\mydir" -Caption="VirusScan ASaP"
