Sort/Selection processing

[Richard Hane]

[ sorry top posted ]

Harold,

For years I have allowed users to access Word, Excel, Notepad(++), Internet Explorer, etc from with in fp.  Note I do this from the review mode not while in input.  (Just never tried it).

Here is the Excel command I use

@key+ : : input popup f "Enter filename or leave blank for new file "  (Used if user is to give filename)
@key+ : : f="shopsch.xls"{""  (System used filename)

: : then: mf="c:\programs files\microsoft office\office\excel.exe"<f

Note that in the above neither f nor mf are defined

Running using fp (5.0.15) on a Windows 2003 server network

Hope this helps

It sounds like you might still be in filePro when you're trying to open the
file. If so, you must CLOSE it first.  So issue a CLOSE statement and see if
you cn then open the file first.
