Hi, forgive me for being noob T__T

Is it possible to run a program using wine included with crossover to open a file which need office to open it.
e.g.:

/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --bottle winxp --cx-app otherProgram.exe "document.doc" -argUsedByOtherProgram.exe

It wont open the document. Opening text file is possible but not microsoft's docs. No errors prompted.
I dont have any problem running this in windows (using cmd).

Is there anything that I left out?
Im using ubuntu hardy.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

From what I've been told it's not possible to pass a startup argument to a program in Crossover. Everything after the path to the .exe is discarded.

Thanks Andrew.

Sorry for late reply,

I made a simple program to test just to display arguments specified after the program name.
With the above command, I get all arguments displayed in the terminal.

IMO I think the external program although run using crossover, it tries to run lets say word.exe in linux environment. That is why it fails. Because in the program it invoke word.exe without crossover. I dont know if this is true though.

Still, looking into this. If anyone has any ideas, please help. ^__^

Thanks.
