Nick,

You can only run a file that doesn't have a space in the name or path.

Use this function...

function openFile(sFilename, bCopyFirst) { bCopyFirst = (bCopyFirst == null ? false : bCopyFirst);

var objWSH = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); var objFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

if (!objFSO.FileExists(sFilename)) { alert("Cannot find file to open.\n\n" + sFilename); return; }

if (sFilename.indexOf(" ") != -1 || bCopyFirst) { objFSO.CopyFile(sFilename, "c:\\temp\\", true); sFilename = "c:\\temp\\" + sFilename.substring(sFilename.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1); }

objWSH.run(sFilename); }
