Excel from journal

[#1]

Is there a way to link to an excel file from journal so that the link opens the excel file?  I am probably missing something very obvious, but every way I have tried results in JMP trying to import the excel spreadsheet into a new JMP data table.

I am using JMP 17.

Do you want to open the Excel file as a JMP data table, or do you want to open the Excel file in Excel?

I want to open the file in Excel

One option is to use Web() command for that

Names Default To Here(1);

nw = New Window("",
	Button Box("Open",
		Web("$SAMPLE_IMPORT_DATA/Team Results.xlsx")
	)
);

nw << journal;
nw << close window;

Run Program() is a good other option but it is more complicated to use
