Eric That's cool. I knew I relied on the file association with the extension, but didn't have an executable in my IFS I could find ;-( If there were a true executable, they'd not need the START command, i assume? Cheers Vern At 04:48 PM 11/26/02 -0600, you wrote:
Vern, This of course depends on the association of the file extension and the Textpad application. If you wanted to name the application (Excel for example), save some typing and try something like this. STRPCCMD PCCMD('Start EXCEL.EXE "\\192.168.1.3\root\home\vern\data1.txt"') Otherwise, you must specify the path to the application, which may not be constant on all installations.
