If i associate a file with a DBPro program is its directory string passed through the Command line?

And can i get it through CL$?

The full pathname (including quotes if needed) is passed.

Create an exe with the following code



Then test it

Why do that? The only time you *need* an association is to allow you to activate your application by double-clicking the file.

If to compile from your IDE, just call the compiler directly with the source file name.

Next time, I'll read the post properly ...

Yes, make the association of the file type to your IDE. Then when you double-click a file of the associated type, it'll open the IDE that can get the full pathname from CL$()

Ideally though, you'll want to automate the associations. You can use something this:



Either put it into a .reg file and double-click, or run the command 'regedit /s myreg.reg' to load from your program.

Be VERY careful when using this ... in fact, do a backup before you start tinkering with your registry in this way.
