Process.start class(again)

[Guest]

When I try to use Process.start for opening a file in word(2003), I get a message stating that word cannot find the file. I can open word manually and open the file but not from VB.Net. I have the Word library reference too. What am I doing wrong?

Jim,

Can you post the code you are using to try and open the document with and we
can see if anything looks amiss.

Here is what I am using

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("excel.exe",("C:\mytestapps\mytestsheet.xls")

Here is what I am using:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("excel.exe",("C:\mytestapps\mytestsheet.xls"))

Why not use something like this?

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
psi.UseShellExecute = True
psi.FileName = "C:\bla.xls"
Process.Start(psi)
