Hello David,
lately I have a similar problem: double-clicking takes verrrry long to start the application and to open the file, whereas the normal Open dialog from within the application works as usual. This is not always the case, but if, then it happens with any application, also MS Word, Excel and so on. Here it helped to uncheck the DDE option for those file-types (which is not possible for Frame-files), but today I saw that the option is checked again mysteriously. So my guess about this would be that its rather a problem with the OS or with the network, not necessarily with FrameMaker. FM seems to expect a quick answer from the OS and handles the delay as file error (my interpretation, only a guess). I am using Windows XP here, by the way. If someone has an explanation to this problem, I would also be very glad. Best regards Tino H.
