The problem is that the name of the file is not passed to OO correctly, the %1 parameter should pass the names of the file to OO, it does but it is corrupted. it shows as, > > Z:/home/hilary/infocentraldata/myfiles/filename.xls. > > OO shows an error message and then stops. > > Obviously for Linux the Z:/ at the front is causing some trouble (I think).

Wine has a special program for that - 'winepath'.
