First, you should use the String[] form of exec(). If the file's pathname
happens to have a space-character in it, the single-String form will fail
badly. Read the API docs for exec() and StringTokenizer.
Second, if everything works, then you don't need to do anything else. But
if Excel isn't on the machine, or there's a problem accessing the file,
then 'open' can fail, and you should take its failure behavior into account.
