Hi folks,

A recent infestation of macs among the exec types has me tearing my hair out at the moment. Today's issue is with an export function that writes to a csv file on the local machine (I'm using the notes data directory) and then opens it for them.

I'm writing to a file called export.csv and then using this code snippet that I found on the nsftools.com blog - http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-03-2010.htm (thanks guys!).

Dim jSession As JavaSession
Dim jClass As JavaClass
Dim jMethod As JavaMethod
Set jSession = New JavaSession()
Set jClass = jSession.GetClass("org/eclipse/swt/program/Program")
Set jMethod = jClass.GetMethod("launch","(Ljava/lang/String;)Z")
Call jMethod.Invoke(, fName)

This works well on my Windows machine, but when I run it on my manager's mac the file does not launch.

He can launch it from the file explorer thing and it opens in Excel, so I'm thinking his machine has the whole default application thing configured properly.

Any ideas? I'm happy to go with an alternative method for opening the file if this one is not an option on the mac.

Regards,

Brendan
