Depends on what you want to do with them. ShellExecute() or automation. ie:

local oWord
oWord = createobject("Word.Application")
oWord.Documents.Open( GetFile('DOC') )
oWord.Visible = .t.
oWord.Activate

local oExcel
oExcel = createobject("Excel.Application")
oExcel.WorkBooks.Open( GetFile('XLS') )
oExcel.Visible = .t.

Public oForm
lcFile = GetFile('HTM') && might be another file like XLS,DOC
oForm = NewObject('HTMLViewerForm')
oForm.Show
oForm.htmlviewer.navigate2(m.lcFile)

Define Class HTMLViewerForm As Form
  Height = 500
  Width = 800
  Add Object htmlviewer As OleControl With ;
    Height = 500, Width = 800, Visible = .T., ;
    OleClass = 'Shell.Explorer'

  Procedure htmlviewer.Refresh
    Nodefault
  Endproc
Enddefine
