Try this, assuming that your using win 95/NT,

Open Explorer, Select "View", "Options" from the menu bar Select the "File Type" tab Select the "SAS System Data Set" from the "registered file types" list Press "Edit" Select "Open" from the "Actions" list Press "Edit" The "Application used to perform action" field should have the value: "C:\SAS\CORE\SASEXE\SASOACT.EXE" action=Open datatype=Data filename="%1" Press "OK", "Close", "Close" All should be fixed.

The values for other "Actions" are "SASView" "Application used to perform action" = "C:\Program Files\The SAS System Viewer\sasview.exe" /dde "Use DDE" = Checked "DDE Message" = [open("%1")] "Print" "Application used to perform action" = "C:\Program Files\The SAS System Viewer\sasview.exe" /dde "Use DDE" = Checked "DDE Message" = [print("%1")] "PrintTo" "Application used to perform action" = "C:\Program Files\The SAS System Viewer\sasview.exe" /dde "Use DDE" = Checked "DDE Message" = [printto("%1","%2","%3","%4")]

Hope this helps. Jon Hanson, Hanson Information Solutions Limited London UK HISL@MCMail.Com
