Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Open files with default Windows tool from forms
I have downloaded from Metalink and am currently using the
open_file_with_app procedure that lets me open any Windows file using
the default Windows tool for that file type. It works great, but need
some help modifying it. If no default Windows tool is defined for a
particular file type, I would like the Windows 'Open With' window
to pop up and let the user associate a tool with the file type. Is
anyone aware of this being done before and if so, what is necessary to
make it happen. The application is a forms 6i application running on
an 8.1.7 database. The users are running some version of a Microsoft
Windows product. If it makes any difference, there are plans of
converting the application to 10g in the near (6 months) future.
