Is this thing on??(Check 1-2-3, Check :) ) I'm reposting something I've posted before because I still don't have an answer. What I'm trying to figure out is how file associations are stored internally in OS/2 2.0. In version 1.3's OS2.INI, I was able to do a WinQueryProfileString on PM_ASSOC_FILTER with a key of "*.TXT". This retrieved the name of the program to execute when an icon for a file with the .TXT extension is double clicked. The OS2.INI file is set up quite differently in 2.0. I can set up the association OK in WPS, so that when I double click on the text file's icon(under the drives folder) I get the correct executable to run. How can I find, from within my C code, the name of a program that is associated with a specific file extension in 2.0? According to any INI viewers I've tried, the file extension seems to be associated with a number. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Ed Hovorka Drone Datalogics, Inc. A growing exited company
