How Can I execute an excel template from my vi?

[dave-t]

I propose to execute a excel template with the System Exec.vi (You find
it in the functions pallet under Communication.)

But excel don't start.

With a Batch-file it works fine.

Whats the problem?

Thanks

dave

Hi,

The system exec vi starts an executable. To start a .txt file, you need to
execute: c:\program files\...\notepad.exe "d:\test\bla.txt". Same applies to
excel.

Regards,

Wiebe.
