aoa
i need to run an excel file through a button my 'forms 6' form.DDE package functions does this for me
AppID := DDE.App_Begin('C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11excel.exe '||'C:myexcelfile.xls',DDE.APP_MODE_MAXIMIZED);
but i have to hard code the my excel exe path where it is installeed in the system.
my application is client server based therefore i cant hardcode the exe path. is there any method or package that can give me the excel exe path.
regards
farhan

You could store in:
1, The database
2, The enviromental settings (windows)
3, Ask the user to find it for you
4, ensure your users have the same configuration
6, what happended to 5...
7, OK, I am running out of ideas now
I hope one of these is useful.
