Opening a file with default editor?

Hi, I don't think the above solution will work. Since doc can be open in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Word or SunOffice Word. If not mistaken, he wants to open a file with a "default editor" Just like your PC, where you set IE as your default windows browser. Cheers.

Thanks, I'll try this. Regards, Thomas Fogh

System.Diagnostics.Process wordproc = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); wordproc.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(); wordproc.StartInfo.FileName = "mydoc.doc"; wordproc.Start(); This opens the file with associations intact. You could also interop the native ShellExecute.
