RE: Attaching to Running Process

Hello,

I make a try to call Process.Start("excel.exe", "abc.prn") on a prn file,
but it still fails and gives the alert "The file is not in a recognizable
format". Generally speaking, the prn file created when printing is a binary
format file and Excel does not know how to read it. Would you let me know
how the prn file was created in your system? Or would you send a copy of
the prn file to my mail box (jialge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
so that I could reproduce it in my side? Would you try to double click
(open) the prn file directly with Excel your Windows Explorer?

You said you might not have time for the issue in these days. Please feel
free to get back any time you want. I will always stand by and do my best
to help you.

Sincerely,
Jialiang Ge (jialge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
