Open PowerPoint Document

[Guest]

I'd like to open a powerpoint document from access, but am getting an error
message every time I try. Here's the code i'm using:

Call Shell("powerpnt.exe z:\shared folder\pipeline process\pipeline
process.ppt", 1)

It appears that the spaces in my folder names are hanging it up. If I take
the spaces out of the folders, it works. However, I'd really like to leave
the folder names as they are, if possible. Any alternatives to make it work
without changing the folder names?

Thanks!

Call Shell("powerpnt.exe ""z:\shared folder\pipeline process\pipeline
process.ppt""", 1)

or

Call Shell("powerpnt.exe " & chr(34) & "z:\shared folder\pipeline
process\pipeline process.ppt" & Chr(34), 1)
