launch url, spaces in folder names [Solved]

I am working on a specialized windows app that creates and launches folders as part of a picture organization system that my employer uses. The problem I am running into, is that if any folders along the file path have spaces in their names, the folder is created, but launch url will not open them. Is there a way to get around this?

Unfortunately that is not the answer, but I am thinking that maybe a replacement of the spaces is the answer. I'm just not sure what to replace them with.

I actually got my hopes up with that one. I though for sure that it would work, but still no luck.

I think that is the first answer you have ever given to me that didn't work. Is there any other way to open a windows folder other than "launch url"?

Hi Magice,
it DOES work actually, but not in your case
I only read "launch url..." and thought about launching a local file in the browser,
where tha line is neccessary.
OK, you are looking for:
...
launch DOCUMENT "path/to/folder with spaces"
...
