Run with a variable

[leernest]

How can I use the Run command with a variable as a parameter ?

e.g

$VAR_TEST="C:\temp\abc.txt"

Run("c:\winnt\notepad.exe" & $VAR_TEST)

After I ran that command, error in 2nd line. Unable to execte the external program. How can I run a command with variable parameter ? Please help !

You did forget the 'space' after the notepad.

So if you want to run "notepad.exe help.txt" then you must do it like:

Run("c:\winnt\notepad.exe " & $VAR_TEST)
