Opening excel file not on path using winopen GUI

Hi,

After running a simulation, I save the data to an excel file with the name of that file saved into handles.file, defined when the GUI is initialized. The user then presses a pushbutton to open the file using

WINOPEN([handles.file, '.xls']);

This all works fine.

However, this only worked when the GUI and the simulation the GUI ran were on the same path. If the simulation isn't in the same folder as the GUI, the excel file is written to the same directory as the sim, and so the GUI can't find the excel file when I try to open it.

How do you alter the above code so that it looks in the right place? Something like

winopn('C:/myfiles/',[handles.file, '.xls'])

Although this obviously doesn't work

Thanks,

Henry
