[Gambas-user] Exec using lowriter

[Ian Roper]

Greetings,

I can run [      lowriter '{path of document}'     ] from a command line 
and it works perfectly.

The desired outcome is that it opens the file in Libre office as a document.

If I run this command with an Exec ["lowriter '{path of document}'"] 
from Gambas then it fails with the error message of "File Or Folder not 
found"

This error message is consistent with typing in an incorrect path on the 
command line.

I have meticulously checked the path used in Exec and it is correct.

- I've searched Libre/Open office errors but nothing I can find about 
calling it from within a program.

Anybody have any ideas to check ?
