I am using vs1.0 and can open blank excel, word and access programs
using the Process component, but what if I want to open an existing
doc I get an error if i just put in the file name. I have tried
switching the useshellexecute property to false but this does not
work. I get the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception'
occurred in system.dll

Additional information: %1 is not a valid Win32 application
any ideas?????

what i'm trying to do is open an access existing file myaccess.mdb
