Problem with RunApp JonR 13.07.2006 14:50:02 I'm trying to use RunApp to open an excel spreadhseet. I keep getting an error message: Microsoft Access can't invoke the application using the RunApp action The path to the application is invalid, or a component of the application is missing. Check the path in Windows Explorer or File Manager I've checked the path, and it seems to be OK. I can start the spreadsheet normally, by double cliking the icon, or with File>Open in Excel. Any suggestions? -- HTH JonR

Re: Problem with RunApp MimiSD 14.07.2006 12:53:02 I am having the same problem. What do you mean the full path?

Re: Problem with RunApp MimiSD 14.07.2006 13:34:02 I actually figured out what you were meaning by excel executable. So my RunApp is actually working now. Thank you.
