Place this inside the global map: MODULE('Windows.DLL') 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') *** End 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.htm' Param = '' Directory = '' Operation = 'open' ShellExecute(GetDesktopWindow(),Operation,AssocFile,Param,Directory,5) Compile and run - note that this can be used to call ANY windows association. Very useful.
