OK... I fixed it. Sometimes I am so stupid.... AutoLISP doesn'r see \ as \
so you use / or \\. Windows doesn't recognise / in directory names... so
you need to set your string up like this:
so windows sees \ because AutoLISP converts \\ to \!!!!
Go ahead... try it!

Nope, it will open excel but with the warning that 'extraction.xls' not
found, check path, spelling yada yada.
Leaving the Excel command in the acad.pgp file I wrote a quick script ...
Excel
"C:/Extraction/Extraction.xls"
This opens it to the correct file ... this is driving me nuts. Any idea why
its not working with (startapp)?
And Thanks a Million for your help Tom.

Best I can figure out .. it sees the first \ after the c: as a pause and is
waiting for a entry at the comand line. It it makes any difference this is
being used on a partial menu. Here is the entire line ...

It works directly at the command line but not as part of a partial menu, as
I was trying to use it. Wacky stuff. Thanks Tom.

Yes I did Tom, just haven't had a chance to post back. Can you believe some
people actually expect you to do work on a friday? Everything is running
smoothly, Thanks for all your assistance Tom. Greatly appreciated.
