Associations are handled through the Windows registry. If you can attach and write to the registry remotely then you can place the associations onto a client computer remotely. Otherwise, you can: 1. Create a file of type .REG by exporting the relevant keys and values, and LAUNCHing this file from R:Base before you do anything that relies on the association (you only need to do it once -- they keys will then be merged into the local registry on the computer) or 2. Use a UDF to directly write the registry keys and values you need. Because things are rarely easy, I expect that several keys probably need to be assigned to handle a single association. I don't know what they are, but I'm sure it's documented somewhere on the Web, or you could inspect the registry yourself by searching, on a machine that DOES have the association, for all keys and values that contain the file extension you are interested in. -- Larry
