-ERROR- Syntax is incorrect for the command LAUNCH(2045).
Is the launch command limited to only running the application?
I must assume that the launch command can only take EXE or COM
application with no extensions (switches or input).
What can I do to get this default drawing to be viewed!
Oma,
Technically, using your operating systems' Explorer, if you
can double click on any file and it opens that doubled-clicked
file with appropriate program...Bingo! You can open that file
from within R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows using the
LAUNCH command. It's that simple.
Basically, when any program is installed, it usually has its
proprietary or favorite file extensions. For example, .RB1 is
the file association to LAUNCH R:BASE 2000 for Windows, .TXT
for Windows NotePad, .PDF for Adobe Acrobat Reader, .DOC for
MS Word .WPD for Corel WordPerfect, mailto: for your default
e-mail program and so on ...
In your case, if Voloview is installed correctly and has the
file association with *.dwg files, you should be able to use
the following example at the R> prompt, command file or in
EEP.
LAUNCH Default.wdg
The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++), Build:1.862xRT03,
for Windows, released on November 27, 2002 includes the
Enhanced LAUNCH command with the option of added parameters
and wait until finished.
