Now that I look at this closer, it looks like I can't bring up RBEdit from within an RBase form anyway the way I have it. If anyone can think of a way to do what I want, is there a way to launch NotePad or WordPad with a parameter to send in the file to open?

Problem is, they have alot of files with weird extensions like ".vrw" or ".123" that are not associated with Windows program but can be brought up in any text editor. If they pick one of these files and try to launch it you get the system message "there is no applicaton associated with the file extension". I was hoping I could trap this error with an error variable or with SQLCODE <> 0 and then bring up RBEdit, something like the below code, but it doesn't see this as an error message. (Note: I want to use launch because there can be Word or Excel or PDF files there too) Any suggestions? Karen SET VAR vFilename TEXT = NULL PLUGINS loadfilenameplus.rbl 'vFilename|fullpath on + |TITLE Select file to display or type it in + |VIEW_MODE Details |FILTER All Files (*.*)#*.* LAUNCH .vFilename IF SQLCODE <> 0 THEN (or I tried if xError <> 0) RBEDIT .vFilename ENDIF
