Hello,

I have a shortcut set up which has the target declared as:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE" /
"\\path_to_file\myfile.xlt"

This works fine on my PC. Excel 2000 running on Windows XP.
Unfortunately it doesnt work on someone elses PC, who asked for m
help!

They have the same software set up, and access to the same folde
path.

When they try to run the shortcut, a window opens and closes almos
immediately.

Help?! :
 
If I were a betting person, I'd bet that there was a typo in your shortcut's
target.

You may want to get it working via
windows start button|run

Then copy it from that window into your shortcut.

(and you're sure that myfile.xlt actually exists in that location??)
