Problem With Export Field Contents in Vista

[Al Partridge]

I am experiencing a problem with the Export Field Contents script step in Vista. When I check the Automatically open file box, the file does not open. The file is successfully exported to exactly where I have specified but it just will not open automatically. Others that I have checked with that are also using Vista do not seem to be experiencing this and the same script will open the file on my XP machines. I am using Vista Ultimate with all updates and this has been a problem with this computer since I have had it, even with previous versions of FileMaker. I'm currently using FileMaker 10.0v3 Advanced. Has anyone else had this problem or am I the only one? I have done searches on the subject but cannot find anything. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate a reply. Thanks in advance. Al

My guess here is that you are too liberal, with the filename's extentions:
