Hi Wayne,

This is weird, I'm using a Mac with a OS X 10.5.8 may be is OS  
related. ( I just double checked it I'm still getting "open (path...)  
". Moreover If I try to open my file calling run("Results... ",  
"mypath/myfile.txt") it does not work.


In any case thanks a lot for your suggestion, I just changed the  
extension from .txt to .xls and it works perfectly.

Max
