>Here's a tricky one. I have HTML code stored in a memo field. I want to give the user the option of using their associated HTML editor on the file. How do I find it/call it? I tried simply running the associated app with .html and of course IE started up.
Use ShellExecute() with the "edit" verb. There are ShellExecute examples in the Microsoft KB, and here on the UT as well. Though I don't recall that the examples specifically use the "edit" verb, it shouldn't be difficult to hack at it.
Of course, George and Ed will be along shortly to show you how to do it using the Windows Scripting Host. :-)
