Hi,

I am not able to run the following code, because of the spaces in the "NG2 Data Validation"

Is there a way I can modify my code, so that it accepts the path as
\\mh3829dk\NG2 Data Validation\Get_Credit.ahk?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
Googem


Code:
Sub Run()

Shell "C:\Documents and Settings\usw9tkp\My Documents\Adam\AutoHotKey\AutoHotkey.exe " & _
    "\\mh3829dk\NG2 Data Validation\Get_Credit.ahk", vbNormalFocus

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
You need to wrap the name of the executable and the path you're passing to it in quotes. Of course, quotes-within-quotes need to be doubled up so I think you should be using something like this:-
Code:
Shell "[COLOR=red][B]""[/B][/COLOR]C:\Documents and Settings\usw9tkp\My Documents\Adam\AutoHotKey\AutoHotkey.exe[COLOR=red][B]""[/B][/COLOR] " & _
    "[B][COLOR=red]""[/COLOR][/B]\\mh3829dk\NG2 Data Validation\Get_Credit.ahk[B][COLOR=red]""[/COLOR][/B]", vbNormalFocus
