Thank you. I am aware of using this method to associate the file. Is there some way to do this from the server so that it will do it for all work stations?

Neil, It has to do with the Windows "File Association". All you need to do is to use Windows File Explorer to locate that file from that particular workstation, highlight that file and use right-click to select "Open With" ... Choose Program... to associate with RBG7.EXE. To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer. This change affects all files that have the same file name extension as the file you selected. Hope that helps! Razzak. --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
