Launching an App and Passing a File
Keywords: double click launch run load word windows app
Problem:
User has written a batch file that calls up windows applications. The batch program is on the network and the software is on a local hard drive. The problem is that when you double click a document it should come up in Word. Word comes up but the document is not loaded.
Solution:
It sounds like user has a batch file (or a compiled batch file) connected with the double click. But somehow the proper information regarding the file is not being passed to Word. Either the batch file is not reading Param1 and getting the name of the double-clicked file, or somehow word cannot find it, probably because the directory information got lost. She needs something like
TheRealFileName=strcat(DirGet(),Param1)
Run("WORD.EXE",TheRealFileName)
This will get the xxxx.doc file name passed via windows to the batch file, and then stick the current directory name in front of it so that WORD can always find it.
