Hi Peter,

You might want to try FindExecutable in the Shell.dll. Try this code:
* lcdoc is a document file name
lcpath = JustPath(lcdoc)
lcbuffer = SPACE(200)
m.findexe = RegFN("FindExecutable", "@C@C@C", "I", "SHELL.DLL")
m.result = CallFN(m.findexe, @lcdoc, @lcpath, @lcbuffer)
The lcbuffer should contain the name and path of the executable.

hth,
