Oh-oh... I understand what you are saying, No One. However, Is the
AcceptFileTypes property a feature of a later RB version? From your
description
of where it is I gather you may be using RB 200x. In my version (5.2.4) I
cannot
find any such property & the online help comes up empty when searching for
such
a name.
I do have the OpenDo***ent event code ("fontoholic" is of course correct
in
stating that I need it). It all works as long as the creator code of the
text
file is the same as that of the app. But I really would like to be able to
drop
text files from different origins. I also would not like my app to open
*every*
saved email just because I double clicked the it (which is what I get if I
set
the opening application in the GetInfo window to my app).
So, anyone out there with RB 5.2.4 having seen an AcceptFileProperty??
Anyway, your hint was helpful.
Mac Dude.
