ShellExecute works fine for me: (still on Delphi 5)
ShellExecute(0,'open',PChar(filen),nil,nil,sw_ShowNormal);
Where filen is a string containing the full path, filename and file
type/extension (.csv) You need "uses ShellAPI" (I recall).
My default application is Excel. Works fine. Maybe you have not got the
registration correctly set up to your default application?
Regards,
Brendan.

Subject: opening a csv file in default program
Hi All,
I'd like to be able to launch a CSV file into Excel or whatever
happens to be the default application to handle CSV's. I had though
that I could just do a ShellEx or CreateProcess with the csv as the
application name, but that doesn't seem to work.
Can anyone advise how I might acheve this?
Ta muchly,
Chris.
