Hi Shwetha,

The excel file can be opened by starting a local system process. Here is a code snippet.

System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\MyExcel.xls"; //file path
proc.Start();

Regards,
Calvin.

hi calvin,
Thanks for the response. It works. Is there anyother way of opening the excel file in dotnet other than starting a process?
