Hi Su, I did the following to force MapInfo to open a specific file with a specific program (opening .jpg files with Paint). I haven't tried it with Mapinfo and a workspace, but I think it's worth a try. It would open a new MapInfo and the appropriate workspace. So here it is :
1. Create a shortcut to a specific program AND file. For example : Create a shorcut to mapinfow.exe and modify the target for: C:\ProgramFiles\mapinfow.exe "C:\MyFiles\MyWorkspace.wor" Important: The shortcut name must not contain any extension. 2. In MapInfo, update the hotlink field with the path to this shortcut. Hope it helps!
