Ok it works, I forgot to enable, "Pass all command line arguments to application" in Application Settings of the app builder... by the way for what reason is it optional?

Khalid, I try the 'App.args' property and the file path is not in the second element. I only get the name of the app at the first position of the array and the rest is empty. Do I have to do some DDE thing in the file association? I tried to add "%1" at the end of the app ..\app.exe "%1" and it not work. Any idea???

Once the file association is made with your LV app, double-clicking the file will launch your LV app and give you the file path as the second element (index 1) of the 'App.args' array. You can then convert this to path and pass it to your read VI(s) in your app. Hope this helps.

I want to Double-Click on my file and my LV7 app start automatically and the file is read and displayed. Thanks Dany Allard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
