How do i get my program to open a file when I click on a
file. I've associated the file type with my program but
when I double click on a file it just opens up my program
but doesn't "open" the file...how can I get the filename
of the file that I double clicked on?

Best Regards,

Alfie

There are 2 things you should do ...

1. Modify the association so that the name of the selected
file is also passed. In Windows Explorer, goto
Tools|Folder Options and select the 'File Types' tab.
Select your file extension and click the 'Advanced'
button. Select the edit option for the open action. In
the 'Application used to perform action' box, you would
find the path to your application ... just put a "%1"
(with the quotes) at the end of it.

2. Modify your program to handle command line parameters
(if you havent done so already). The name of the selected
file would be passed as a command-line parameter which you
can get at by using the Command$ function in vb.

Hope this helps
