Open existing instance of program

[mattm14 0]

I can open the program required with:

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Files\Program.exe")

which is pretty simple.

I have instances of this program stored in a folder, but I cannot open them.

They are stored here:

C:\Users\M\AppData\Local\Program

They all end with lastsession.ses so I tried:

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Files\Program.exe -i C:\Users\M\AppData\Local\Program\Name_of_instance\lastsession.ses")

But this didn't work.

Anyone know how I can achieve this?

it will never work as is. Try:

'"C:\Program Files (x86)\Files\Program.exe" -i "C:\Users\M\AppData\Local\Program\Name_of_instance\lastsession.ses"'

Recommend use of macros if you want to share the app:

:: Compile as 32 bit otherwise @ProgramFilesDir will point to the wrong directory.

Run('"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\Files\Program.exe" -i "' & @LocalAppDataDir & '\Program\Name_of_instance\lastsession.ses"')
