    Hi,
    I'm trying to add a menu in my custom menu that will lauch an excel file
    where the path contains spaces. Before posting, i researched for about 5
    days on how to go around spaces in path but did not find a solution.
    can anyone correct what I'm doing wrong?
    Show Project listing works fine because the are no spaces. Show project
    listing2 has spaces and cannot lauch the excel file.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance,

    Connie
