In our app, a Notepad file is created and then Launched:

The launch fails because it is looking for an explicit
file name and not just the default folder.
This use to work. Do all file names need a full pathname?


Dennis,

A few suggestions to test the exact scenario.

01. Make sure that the .TXT is not file associated with anything
    else. The default is Notepad.

02. Have you checked the existence of a TXT file in the same
    directory?

03. What happens if your try the exact steps at the R> prompt?

04. What if you try the same scenario to create a PDF file and
    then use the LAUNCH command?

    Example:

    OUTPUT XCROSSTAB.PDF PDF
    WRITE ...
    CROSSTAB ...
    OUTPUT SCREEN
    LAUNCH XCROSSTAB.PDF

Hope that helps!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
