Help To Open External Document

[douglasdog]

Hi

I am trying to run an external programe within the event editor that will launch a word document, which is located in application folder. What do I need to to get this to work?

If you say: "run external program: the word document" then MMF will open it with the default program.

If you want a specific program then run it, with the full path to the word document as the command line.

The "run external program" is in the "special object" (the computer icon in the event editor).

Run External Program won't run a .doc file.

To run the program associated with a file extension, you can use the Open URL function of the Vitalize! Plugin object. It will launch the program associated with the extension of your file.

Thanks for the replies. Got it working using the Vitalize Plugin object.
