Send a file to an external app?

Here's another one for you....

I've used LaunchExecutable() and LaunchExecutableEx() to launch a .exe file.  But how do you send a file to an external executable?  Suppose I want to open a specific file in Excel or Word, etc, from within a CVI app.

Is there a way to do that?

Have you tried: LaunchExecutable ("word.exe myfile.doc"); or similar?

LaunchExecutable ("winword.exe myfile.doc"); or similar?

Yes, that works. 

Adding a filename, in addition to the *.exe, to the character string passed to the function, is not documented anywhere that I cain find.

Thanks very much...
