>>If you double click on a file called c:\cadcam\my CadFile.cad, the file opens in the correct editor. I guess the install program made the proper associations for the cad files. How can I utilize WScript to simulate a double click on c:\cadcam\my CadFile.cad so it will open in the proper editor. Then I could use VFP to activate the editor and display the file.
