I have all ready done this and that works. The problem is I don't want to have to change the file extensionat all. I want the .DAT file to go directly to scalc.exe. Even when I setup the windows file extensions .dat to use scalc it still sends it to swrite. Why is this so hard in open office ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
