He's talking about full quotation marks, not apostrophes. Put quotation marks
around any part of the path name that has blanks in it.
STRPCCMD PCCMD('\\192.168.1.10\REPORTS\ITDEPT\"CONSOLIDATED BALANCE
2005-04-05.XLS"'
Or maybe around the whole thing after the IP address
STRPCCMD PCCMD('\\192.168.1.10\"REPORTS\ITDEPT\CONSOLIDATED BALANCE
2005-04-05.XLS"'
