Shell problem

[Frihi]

I have a application CDStart.exe to run some exe-files from cd. Now at the end I want to call a Readme.htm which is on the cd.

If I call:
Call Shell("C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe D:\Readme.htm", 1)

that works.

But as I can't be sure, the cd-driveletter is D, I try:
Call Shell("C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe App.Path+Readme.htm", 1)

And this makes the App.Path be the Path of the Explorer, settings. How can I put it ob the path of the CDStart.exe?

Try:
Call Shell("C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe " & App.Path & "\Readme.htm", 1)

I hope this helps,

Call Shell("C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe " & App.Path & "\Readme.htm", 1)

Gives:

Runtime error 53: file not found.

Also with:

Call Shell("C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe " & App.Path & "Readme.htm", 1)

The problem is the space in thenInternet explorer path.
Try:
Call Shell("""C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe"" " & App.Path & "\Readme.htm", 1)

Thank you, Carlos! Perfect!

But I had to change: "\Readme.htm" to "Readme.htm", because on the cd-drive the App.Path with the slash would be then D:\\Readme.htm.

Man, I have been hanging on that for 2 days now!
