paths in shell call |

| message from bozdog on 19 May 2004 |
I am trying to use the contents of a text box on a form ,that returns the
path of a drawing file after a search, as the path for an application to
call after a button click.
The button works fine when I manually type the path string, but would like
to know how to place the string inside the text box, into the statement.
Typical Text box content ... "c:\agl\374-335.tif" (required path generated
from search)
stAppName = "C\kodakimg.exe (Path Here)
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
TIA

stAppName = "C\kodakimg.exe & Chr(34) & Me.txtYourTextBox & Chr(34)

You forgot the closing quote (and/or the space) between the executable and
the file, Arvin.
stAppName = "C\kodakimg.exe " & Chr(34) & Me.txtYourTextBox & Chr(34)
For those times when the path to the executable includes a space, you'll
need quotes then too, bozdog:
stAppName = Chr(34) & "C\Program Files\kodakimg.exe" & Chr(34) & " " &
Chr(34) & Me.txtYourTextBox & Chr(34)
(In case you're wondering, Chr(34) is equal to ")
