[Solved] Open a .xls file into filemaker

[PedroAlex]

Good afternoon everyone.

I need to open a .xlsx file by pressing a button

I have tried with a script, where I establish a variable
$ filename = e: \ Works \ Josram \ Presup \ AAVSA \ slopes 345 7 Apr 14.xlsx

And using the command "Send DDE Execute"
The service name = "c: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Office \ Office16 \ Excel.exe"

But when you run it, it just does nothing

Can someone tell me that I'm doing wrong?

I don't need to import o export a file. 

I only need, when i click a button Excel runs and open the .xlsx file

Thanks in advance

regards

Pedro
