opening outside objects.

How do I set up a script to open up a CAD file, a picture or a word document stored in an outside folder from inside filemaker?

Johnny,

One way you can do this is via the Troi Files Plug-in. It has a function called "Launch" which will open a file, providing the native application is on the computer.

Wow, it sounds like it does a lot of things that I've been trying to figure out how to do. I think I'll take it for a spin. Thanks for your help.
