Hi Mathew

Check out the Windows API FindExecutable() function here on the UT or at http://www.news2news.com. It returns the associated app for a given file. Also check the ShellExecute() function.

I found the following here on the UT but cannot remember who wrote it so cannot credit the right person. Sorry.

DECLARE INTEGER FindExecutable IN shell32; 
    STRING   lpFile,; 
    STRING   lpDirectory,; 
    STRING @ lpResult 

DECLARE INTEGER GetLastError IN kernel32 

lcResult = SPACE(250) 

IF FindExecutable ("c:\temp\MyTest.pdf", "", @lcResult) > 32 
    ? Left (lcResult, AT(Chr(0), lcResult)-1) 
ELSE 
    *   2 = Cannot find the file specified 
    *   3 = Cannot find the path specified 
    *  21 = The device is not ready 
    * 127 = The specified procedure could not be found 
    ? "Error code:", GetLastError()
