GetDesktopWindow(), Unsigned, Pascal
OMIT('***',_WIDTH32_)
ShellExecute(Unsigned, *CString, *CString, *CString, *CString, Signed),
Unsigned, Pascal, Raw, Proc
***
COMPILE('***',_WIDTH32_)
ShellExecute(Unsigned, *CString, *CString, *CString, *CString, Signed),
Unsigned, Pascal, Raw, Proc,name('ShellExecuteA')
***

Declare these local variables in a window:
AssocFile CSTRING(255)
Operation CSTRING(255)
Param CSTRING(255)
Directory CSTRING(255)
Place this code in a button:
AssocFile = 'c:\xyz.xls'
Param = ''
Directory = ''
