Open Office button not working

Help & Support
1

Following code

@nofilenamequoting @set fn={dlgstringS|Dokument Namen eingeben (ohne .odt)|Dokument Name} FileType NEW=.odt NEWNAME="norename:{$fn}" Select PATTERN="{$newfile}" DESELECTNOMATCH "C:\Programme\OpenOffice.org 2.4\program\swriter.exe" "{$newfile}"

used to work, but after an user changed it to a different program, it stopped working:

@nofilenamequoting @set fn={dlgstringS|Dokument Namen eingeben |Dokument Name} FileType NEW=.odt NEWNAME="norename:{$fn}" Select PATTERN="{$newfile}" DESELECTNOMATCH "C:\Programme\SoftMaker Office 2010 Home & Business\TextMaker.exe" "{$newfile}"

What could be the problem?

Does TextMaker.exe's command-line work like that?

Can you elaborate on "stopped working?" :slight_smile: What actually happens?

If the button is an MS-DOS batch mode function then the & in the program path could be causing problems (DOS batch scripts are funny about & characters - I think you have to double-them up, but I'm not 100% sure about that).
