How can I get my application to open a word_file in Word.



I use:



Word_exe   =setup

ObjectName =Word_exe ...?

returnvalue=Utility("RUNWIN", ObjectName)





,where setup contains the path to Winword.exe.



Regards

<QUOTE>KSF,



You can either RUNWIN the Word exe, e.g,



RetVal=UTILITY( "RUNWIN", FullPathNameForMSWord : ' ' : FullPathNameForDocFile )



or just the .doc file you want to show, e.g.,



RetVal=UTILITY( "RUNWIN", FullPathNameForDocFile )



and Windows file association will take care of the rest.



But in any case you must avoid long file/folder names (and names with spaces in them), because OI (and every OI app) is a 16-bit program that only understands old-fashioned 8.3 file names. So you might have to use the "MS-DOS names" of the files and folders in question, e.g,



RetVal=UTILITY( "RUNWIN", "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\OFFICE\WINWORD.EXE  C:\STUFF\WORK\LETTER~1.DOC" )



I know you now already have new questions, but try to do a search. There must be lots of postings about this stuff.
