This is by no means a solution, but possibly a "better'n nuttin'" solution...
I don't know if XP has "Open With" in the right click dialog of Explorer. I don't even remember if this is native to Win2000 or if it was an add on tweak I found but. If that's available, and you don't find resolution a better way, this would be better than having to dialog through menues to run Diabuilder.

However, I can't get this to work from a WinXP normal user account. It works fine for my admin account but not for the one I normally do development in. The DiaBuilder icon doesn't appear in the program list, and when I choose "Browse" and pick it, absolutely nothing happens. It won't associate, nor does it give me an error. This account can execute DiaBuilder2000.exe no problem, but I'm getting tired of manually launching it instead of just double-clicking on the prj file. Anyone else here using DiaBuilder2000 to build mapbasic dialogs know how to fix this? Is it a Windows thing, or something peculiar to DiaBuilder? _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free Checked by AVG Free Edition.
