>I am not sure what you mean with "see the default program". With the function mentioned, the program used to open a file with a certain extension can vary between one computer and the other. For instance, usually if you double-click on a *.TXT file, you will open in NotePad by default. However, let's say I install PFE, because I like it better (multiple windows, almost unlimited filesize). In this case, the default Windows program for .TXT becomes PFE.

Richtig.

I and even the program where my database is running never have a programm that opens hpgl files. So there is no default?
