I believe that you can add C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 to
the windows path variable.  This is found under the advanced tab in the
system properties window, button called Environment Variables.

Subject: x command to start a window program with the full path?

Hi there,

x "'winword.exe'";
x "'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\winword.exe'";

Is there a way to configure windows, so that when I use x command in
SAS, I don't have to give the full path of the windows program?

The first line won't work. The second line works.

There must be a way, since I can type in the program name in the
start/run window without having to give the full path.

Thanks

Ya
