I have a user on NT4.  He has rich text format (rtf) files set up to open
under
WordPerfect in Explorer, File Types.

But from my VB program, with an OLE control, the rtf files open in WordPad.

If he opens the file directly from explorer, it opens correctly in
WordPerfect.

Everything works fine on computers with Word instead of Wordperfect.

I'm using vb4, 32-bit.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, in advance.

Consider trying the WebBrowser control as document container instead of the
OLE control.  It is much better behaved.
