Citrix File Association Works... BUT...

[LinuXelite]

Hi

I have Citrix MetaFrame XP and I set up file association. Like this:
"%Program Files%\Citrix\ICA Client\PN.EXE" /PN "FarmName" /APP "Winword" /PARAM "%1"

It works well. Great. BUT... there is always a little problem with computer... informaticians know that )

When one of my user click on the "WORD" ICA shortcut, it opens Word. But Word complains that :
"Filename or folder of the document is not valid. ()"

Like Word try to open "%*" or just ''.

Any idea?

Frank.

Nothing?

You have to use %%1 not just %1

 

[LinuXelite]

Does not work.

Winword complains:

Cannot open this file
Verify that the document has a .DOC extension
(O:\Program Files\...\Office\%%1.doc)

If I use %*, the file association on the client's machine work but when you open word "alone", with an empty document (default), it complains that he can't find the file %*.doc.

My citrix config looks like this (Application location):
"o:\program files\blah\windord.exe" "%*"

Still looking... I miss the simplicity of Linux (and the liberty) ;o)

Frank.

Is this a new installation of Office2000....???...or an upgrade from Office97....???

We recently had a problem with an Office upgrade and ended up with what sounds like a similar problem, when Word or Excel was trying to open documents it would "split" the path if there were spaces in it....

e:\group\folder name1\file name1.doc

For some reason Word tried to read a filename at each space...e:\group\folder and then name1\file etc.....It gave an error similar to what you are seeing......

The only solution we were able to find was to recreate each user profile, I presume there was a conflict between the original installation of Office97 and the "new" Office2000 installation.....possibly because of file associations...????!!!!
