Hello Scott,
Sorry to clutter things with another post but there was one thing I forgot to
include: the actual content of the variables. Sometimes the exact form of a
string is what trips me up so perhaps this will be helpful. I walked through
the debugger as this section of code was running and copied out the contents of
each variable. (disclaimer: actually I *retyped* what I saw in the debugger
window... there is probably a way to copy/paste but I couldn't recall it.)

-- there is no Registry key for the file extension
-- so let's set it up
--1. Create a key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for the extension, and use the
default value to point to the name of the application

value to point to a descriptor of the kind of document used by the app
-- this will be used in list views to show the kind of file a document
of TestApp is:
-- get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestApp\","TestApp document")

application. Rev document icons are in the first position
-- get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestApp\DefaultIcon\","C:\Program
Files\TestApp\TestApp.exe,1")

error reporting

end if
end if -- lErrorLog is empty
if lErrorLog is empty then
--4. Create a subkey three layers deep in HKCR\ReportCard_Pro to hold
the command to open the application when the document with the ".rcp" extension
is launched.
-- The path to the document is defined in the registry as %1.
-- get
setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestApp\shell\open\command\","C:\Program
Files\TestApp\TestApp.exe %1")
-- for my purposes the path will look like:
-- C:/Program Files/Report Card Pro/ReportCard_Pro.exe
put tAppExecutablePath&&"%1" into tSubKeyDblClickDocString
get
setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\"&tAppFolder&"\shell\open\command\",tSubKeyDblClickDocString)
