Spaces in Paths and Winword.exe

[gazza67]

Hi,

I have a simple problem I am sure somebody can solve very easily.

I want to do this;

OpenFileDialog theDiag = new OpenFileDialog();
theDiag.ShowDialog();

Process.Start("winword", theDiag.FileName);

My problem is that the path name from theDiag.FileName sometimes has a
space in it. When this happen winword seems to think that there is a
space delimited list of files that it should open (ie it thinks that
there is more than one file to open).

Thanks in advance
Gary

Gary,

Just put the filename in double quotes and it should work fine.

Hope this helps.
