The mistake you made is that your filename should be in quotes("") this
applies to all Windows apps when opening documents from the command line.
So your code should be something like this.
temp = new(xtra "FileXtra3")
vFileName = "c:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe" && QUOTE & "c:\program
files\winamp\demo.mp3" & QUOTE
put vFileName
-- "c:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe "c:\program files\winamp\demo.mp3""
put temp.fx_FileRunApp(vFileName)
-- 1
Right out of the message window and working perfectly.

put temp.fx_FileRunApp("c:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe c:\program
files\winamp\demo.mp3")
but it just opens Winamp with the Open Dialogue box opened too. HELP!
<<ADDED>> Essentially I'm just wondering if anyone knows why the MP3 file
passed to the EXE isn't being opened.
<<ADDED AGAIN>> I've tried the same open dialogue with winword.exe and a
.txt file and it doesn't open that either but gives filenot found/access
denied errors.
