Hi, Kylde, thanks for your answer.
I see your point and I admit I had thought about it, but,
the purpose of this is to include it in an application that
will be distributed to various users in different locations
throughout the country. I don't want to force all the users
to have to go through this. First of all, it might not be their
choice to have their file associations in such a way and many
of them will not know how to do it and further problems will
arise. I need a solution that will be transparent to the users.
Perhaps if I knew how to change the file associations programmatically,
do my thing and then restore the file associations back, before exiting, but it
does sound to me like a daunting task, even more than what motivated
my original post.
Thanks.
MF
