 how can i open the Open with window from my vb program

Hie, Try this:

Public Sub DisplayOpenWith(strFile As String)
    On Error Resume Next
    Shell "rundll32.exe shell32.dll, OpenAs_RunDLL " & strFile
End Sub

Use it by passing the file name e.g.:
DisplayOpenWith "C:\FileWithNoDefaultApplication.agx"
