RE: Opening PC docs thru AS/400

Use the following:

strpco                  (Starts the PC organizer function of Client Access)
STRPCCMD PCCMD('"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe"')
PAUSE(*NO)              (You can add the file name to open after the 
winword.exe.  The
double quotes are required if you have spaces in the command line.

Hi all,

Eric,

Basically, its a word document that exists in a folder in the IFS. Its easy
enough to map it to windows explorer and access it. I was trying to find out
if there's any way one can open this document, from an AS/400 operation,
triggering MS Word itself, so that it is viewed through Word. If I could do
this through RPG or CL, it would be great!

Thanks and regards,
Vikas.
