Hello all
(In Word 2003)
I need to call with my shell command to explorer.exe, it works
shell "explorer.exe" or shell "explorer.exe c:\Data"
But I need use the variables %systemdrive% and %username% and an error
message appears: "this file doesn't exist".
How can I use the variables with shell or whitout it?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

use the environ-function:

Environ("systemdrive")
Environ("username")

Signature
