Run () help

[howdytest]

I'm writing my first script and i can't seem to get .exe's to run. I'm not an experienced programmer, but this seems simple enough.

Run ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Excel.exe", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

The above is the way i've seen it coded in other scripts, but even this doesn't work.

I've tried:

Run ("excel.exe" , "C:\Program File\Microsoft Office\Office10\", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

But that doesn't work either. The only problem i can think of is that autoit is on a different partition than excel, but autoit doesn't run programs on it's own partition either.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks.

parameter 2 is Working Directory... try this...

Run ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Excel.exe","", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

your second example might have worked, except for "Program File" (instead of Files)
