Open Excel Files from Foxpro that reside in SharePoint

Asked by rickbull in FoxPro Database, MOSS-Sharepoint

Tags: Visual Foxpro 9.0

I am having a problem open excel files from Foxpro that have spaces in either the directory or filename, but my code works when the path does not have spaces.  I am not sure what changes I should make.

My previous method was starting excel with the RUN command, but some workstations have different versions so the path is different, so I am converting all my code to use OLE.

I have tried replacing "%20 with " " and it does not work either.Start Free Trial

*this code only works when the path does not have spaces
oleExcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Application")
oleExcel.Workbooks.Open(mFILE)
oleSheet = oleExcel.Sheets(1)
oleExcel.Visible = -1
 
* this code works for paths without or with spaces
