I just noticed that you are running under Cygwin in one of your replies, so the stuff about the current directory and %path% does not apply. There must be a char in the filename that the shell finds interesting.	[reply]

Hmm. OK, I am back to square 1. the ticks around a does NOT work, it's just that the exe naturally will run on ALL pdf's in a directory.	[reply]
