I use the following

tcFile=alltrim(mytable.myfield)

   wait window nowait 'Opening '+tcFile
   DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute ;
   IN SHELL32.dll ;
   INTEGER nWinHandle,;
   STRING cOperation,;
   STRING cFileName,;
   STRING cParameters,;
   STRING cDirectory,;
   INTEGER nShowWindow
   DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN WIN32API STRING cNull,STRING cWinName
   RETURN
ShellExecute(FindWindow(0,_SCREEN.caption),tcAction,tcFile,"",SYS(2023),1)

Is this what you're looking for ?
