Spaces in path to start application from autocad

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm trying to add a menu in my custom menu that will lauch an excel file where the path contains spaces. Before posting, i researched for about 5 days on how to go around spaces in path but did not find a solution. can anyone correct what I'm doing wrong? Show Project listing works fine because the are no spaces. Show project listing2 has spaces and cannot lauch the excel file. Thanks in advance for any assistance, Connie ***POP1 [&STD] [->HELP FILES] ID_Show Project Listing_0 [Show Project Listing]_start; H://CEG_DESIGN_CENTER/2Cad_Support/Support/Current_Project_Listing.xls; ID_Show Project Listing2_0 [Show Project Listing2]_start; "H://CEG ACTIVE PROJECTS LIST/Current Project Listing.XLS";
