Exec("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 3\firefox.exe '%f'").

This doesn't work. How does one launch Firefox, or any browser, displaying the current file?

Thanks.

There is a space between "Program" and "Files" and other places.

It is enclosed in quotes. If I name a file it works perfectly. For example,

Exec("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 3\firefox.exe c:\links.htm")

But if I use the variable %f enclosed in single quotes it doesn't work. Why not?

[bill]

Sorry. Solved it. Quotes around the variable are not needed. This works:

Exec("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 3\firefox.exe %f")

I think this should be done like this:
Exec(`C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 3\firefox.exe "%f"`)
or
Exec('C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 3\firefox.exe "%f"')

That is the way I had it initially, double quotes around the complete string and single quotes around the variable. But I find that quotes around the variable are not needed. In fact, using quotes around %f doesn't work.

Exec(`"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 3\firefox.exe" %f`)
