    startup switch not working

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get XL 2003 to open a particular book on startup by typing the full path as a startup switch in a shortcut's Target field. Works only if there's no spaces in the path. According to xl help, spaces should be no problem - their example is C:\Reference Data\Actuarial Lists.xls
    Any way to rectify this? (Note: Ignore other apps is checked)
    Thanks!
