Q:

microsoft office/access - problem with filepath using call shell from vba

I have the following vba-code in an MS-Access97-frontend which opens a word-document stored on a server:
Call Shell("winword ""\\Fileserver\Contabilita\Crucial deadlines\Bonifico97.doc""", 1)

The document is a merge-document (getting data from a query and populates the document from the data retrieved)
Now, I have put the database-frontend on another computer (still using MS-Access 97 but with MS-Word 2003 installed on the PC - MS-Access 97 is still working nicely since it was installed in a different directory) but now when above code, using call shell, is being executed, I always get "Document not found". If I launch above shell command in Start/execute, the document is being opened correctly.
What could be the problem? The file-path? Did any anything change in VBA 97 and VBA2003 what regards file-paths? I am aware of the fact that there is a folder in the file-path with a space but it works nicely on the PC with office97 installed.
I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

A:

You will need to use the full path for Word.
