Having problems Storing and Retrieving an Excel file in a Custom Property

[Ian McKnight]

Hi

I'm doing this from a stack within the IDE and have my stack in a sub folder
of  my documents folder. The template file is in the same folder.

When  I double click the original template, which is also stored there, it
lauches Excel and displays correctly. The problem occurs when it is
'processed' through my stack.

BTW I'm on Win 7 LiveCode 4.6
