Hi Fred,
correction: the shown method does not work with the 
version
you have because in old 
versions internally the "system()" call 
was used;  whereas in the new 
version I changed this to "WinExec()" 
from the WinAPI and that one is 
ok. The new version will be 
available in about 3 hours. You 
could overcome this by using 
an intermediate BAT or CMD file or just wait for 
the new version.

  "progpath with blanks" "file path with blanks as 
  param to prog"
   
  That is: apply the "rule" on each of the two components, 
  like this: 
  
  xxExec(<FONT 
  color=#ff00ff size=1>"<FONT face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff 
  size=1>\"C<FONT 
  size=1>:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe<FONT 
  face="Courier New" size=1>\<FONT face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff 
  size=1>" <FONT face="Courier New" 
  color=#ff00ff size=1>\"<FONT face="Courier New" 
  size=1>C:\\Program 
  Files\\AmiBroker\\ABTool\\Report.csv<FONT face="Courier New" 
  size=1>\"<FONT 
  color=#ff00ff size=1>");<FONT 
  face=Arial>
   
  (Note: I've used CSV, change to XLS)
  Between the both components must be a 
  blank.
   
  But normally you can omit the program name: giving just 
  the file
  will start the associated 
  program automatically.
