Excellent, that is exactly what i needed msa2003.

A link and no execution comfirmation.
I'm working on an Active Desktop and i was having trouble getting pathnames with spaces to work. Anyone have any suggestions?
You may try using the short path names, e.g. use 'file://C:/Progra~1/myprogram.exe' instead of 'file://C:/Program files/myprogram.exe'. It works.
