Details:


if current directory is c:\dir1,
xlsread ('c:\dir2\a.xlsx') failes because of 


      filename = make_absolute_filename (strsplit (filename, filesep){end});


in  __COM__spsh_open__.m   that changes filename to c:\dir1\a.xlsx

The code 


      if (!is_absolute_filename)
        filename = make_absolute_filename (strsplit (filename,
filesep){end});
      endif


solve this, but it doesn't solve usage of relative path, like

xlsread ('..\dir2\a.xlsx')
