using shell on non-exe

[Ari]

Hello,
I have a file with a .edp extension. It is a session for attachemate, a
mainframe program. I like to use the link to the session instead of
having the user select one once the program is executed.
I've have tried this two ways, once with Shell and once with something
like:


Set wsShell = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
Set proc = wsShell.Exec(getExtraPath())



Neither one will accept it since it is not an executable. What can I
do?

Ari,

I don't know if it'll work in your situation, but you can try this:
