My application does the following.
Before the interface comes up it asks the users computer where is the executable for all of the programs that the application may need. Such as PDF, DOC, TXT, HTM, etc. I do this by using a call asking the Users Computer what program is brought up when a certain extension (PDF, etc..) is encountered. I then store the results into a Application Object, to be used later. If this is what you have in mind then I will be glad to send you the code.

>>>Hi everybody,

>>>Thanks in advance.

>No, because it doesn't know where the exe is. I need to find in run-time where is my external exe. E.g. my colleague put
>#DEFINE cTextToPDFExe ["C:\Program Files\AdultPDF\Text To PDF\TxtToPDF.exe"]
