Re: Problem opening Xls file in IFS

Another view same issue:

You do not need to use the "Rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL" prefix

Just pass the path+file name and the user's Windows OS will open the file
alright.

  STRPCCMD  PCCMD('"\\192.168.0.100\PDF\MYFLR\MYDOC_1141521.pdf")
PAUSE(*NO)').

Obviously the problem is that Windows didn't keep the login
information.? It doesn't remember it permanently (unless you tell it to.)

You can use the "net use" PC command to set the Windows login
information.? You can use that from your script to make sure it's ready
to launch the Xls (or PDF, which appears to be what you're actually
trying to launch).
