Problem with RunApp

G

Guest

I'm trying to use RunApp to open an excel spreadhseet. I keep getting an
error message:

Microsoft Access can't invoke the application using the RunApp action
The path to the application is invalid, or a component of the application is
missing.
Check the path in Windows Explorer or File Manager


I've checked the path, and it seems to be OK. I can start the spreadsheet
normally, by double cliking the icon, or with File>Open in Excel.

Any suggestions?

try using the full path to the excel executable (space) full path to
document

use quotes around each path.

See how that works

I am having the same problem. What do you mean the full path?

I actually figured out what you were meaning by excel executable. So my
RunApp is actually working now. Thank you.
