Hi Erich, back to my problem. It's working now but I seems curious to me. My directory structure looks like: C:/Programme/Micrografx C:/Programme/Microsoft Autoroute Express C:/Programme/microsoft frontpage C:/Programme/Microsoft Ofice C:/Programme/Microsoft Office XP Excel will be found at folowing path: C:/Programme/Microsoft Office XP/Office10/EXCEL.EXE What I had to specify in my STRPCCMD was: 'C:\Programme\Micros~3\Office10\EXCEL.EXE'; I wonder why I had to set ~3 as I use actually the 4th directory named with Micros...? Well, it runs but I didn't still understand the logic. Kind reagards, Werner Noll -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Erich W. Schasse [mailto:Schasse@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 12.

Example for calling EXCEL: 'C:\Progra~1\micros~1\office\excel.exe'. Such pathnames may differ from one the the other PC environment. My question: Where can I find explanations on the syntax of this shortened pathnames? E.g. what does ~1 stand for? Many thanks in advance.
