>>I need to be able to launch different files from VFP. For instance, I need to code a command button to launch Word or WordPerfect depending on the file type. In the Windows Run window I can point to a .wpd and it will open WordPerfect with the .wpd file. When I point the Window Run window at a .doc file it opens Word and the .doc file. I need this same functionality from VFP using a command button. Someone told me to use WSH to do this. Does anyone have any WSH code or even a better method to do this?
