Launching SW Viewer From Command Line

Hi Folks,

I know there are some command line switches for running SW (/m for invoking
a macro) but here is what I need to do. Since the SW Viewer has no type
library for VBA (maybe I am wrong) instantiating the viewer form Excel is a
little different than starting SW. My guess that one way to do it is to use
a command line in shell command. I want to launch a file of a known name
into SW Viewer. If I use this line in Excel VBA => Shell "C:\Program
Files\SolidWorksViewer\swviewer.exe", vbNormalFocus i get a SW viewer icon
on task bar but it won't open?

What I need to get is Excel to launch SW Viewer with a file handed in from
VBA. Ideas?

Thanks,

Lots of correctly placed quotes does the trick using the Shell command.
