Opening external program

[cyberant]

Hi all!

I've created an Email browser program. I'm needing for my attachments to open in the programme required for their extensions. How would I go about opening my *.doc file and actually have word open it?

I really have'nt a clue on what to do, I've only been programming for approx. 3 months.

Thanks alot!

I guess this is easiest, include 'shellapi' in your uses and use this code:

ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', 'yourworddocument.doc', nil, nil, SW_SHOW);
