>I had to rebuild my machine this week (hard drive crashed, ugh!). Before that, if I opened a DBF (or other VFP file type) from Windows Explorer, the file would open in the current VFP session. Now, when I do that, it opens up a new session of VFP for each file. Any way to get back to the old behavior? Here are the settings for DBF in Folder Options->File Types:

>Action: open
>Application used to perform action: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\vfp8.exe" -SHELLOPEN "%1"
>Use DDE: checked
>DDE Message: (blank)

>DDE Application not running: (blank)
