Thank you much Jacque for this suggestion.
At first glance, not sure I understand it well (seems to me that the user
should choose the file in a dialog (?)
But in my case the reader can't choose the file;
In a field, on the main stack, s(he) may read laconic informations about the
patient.
One information can be completed by a document that give the details. In such a
case at the end of the line of information the doctor has created a button with
an icon (DOC) : clicking the button open the right document
Ex.the cholesterol is not normal see > (DOC)
That's why I seem to have to use launch document with the fileName
(when a button is created, I keep the name of the document it corresponds to in
a custom property)
This works very well on Mac
I will give more attention to your suggestion to morrow: here it is a bit too
late now, for my age ;-))
