Is the file name Myspreedsheet or Myspreadsheet?
Make sure you've spelled it correctly.
Is it in a Folder named "Audit"?
Assuming the file is actually named MySpreadsheet, why not simply use:

Application.FollowHyperlink "c:\Audit\MySpreadsheet.xls"

1. You need to give a more full description of what you mean. I can't make
sense of it.

2. There are two possibilities: (a) you misspelled something, or (b) the
path you posted isn't the real path, and the real path contains spaces. If
the path contains spaces, you need to enclose it in quotes *within* the
string you pass to Shell. For example:

stAppName="Excel.exe ""C:\Path With Spaces\Myspreedsheet.xls"""

By doubling up the quotes in the quotes string, one quote is embedded.

Off-topic Comment:
The subject line of your post is uninformative and annoying. Most people
posting want help. Adding exclamation points doesnt make your post more
deserving than others'. A subject line summarizing the problem or topic is
much more useful.
