Using ShellExecute to open .mxd - Win 7

DavidKroll

I have a Delphi application that calls ShellExecute on a .mxd file.  It works fine in XP, but when trying to run on Win 7, ArcMap throws the error "Could not find file C:\users\username\My Documents\filename.mxd.mxd".  I'm not passing the filename with 2 .mxd's at the end.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

David

This works for me using the process class instead.  I do not include the ".mxd" in my mapName variable.

System.Diagnostics.Process arcmap = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

arcmap.StartInfo.FileName = arcmappath + "\\arcmap.exe";
arcmap.StartInfo.Arguments = path + mapName;

arcmap.Start();
