Startup an associated shortcut w/executable file name

I have a program that a shortcut points to an emulator C:\Program Files\Reflection\Help\CU.r2w - that is not a .bat or exe or com file. How can I get it to start up automaticly from a timed macro? It is assocaited with the .exe file r2win.exe. If I start r2win.exe it only starts the emulator without starting the connection to the mainframe. Help please -wilfred

Check out the 'ExecuteFile>" command. It launches a file with it's associated application.If the file doesn't have the application associated, you should be able to do something like:Run Program>"c:\path\to\r2win.exe" C:\Program Files\Reflection\Help\CU.r2w

Thank you very much! That's a headslapper - didn't even see the ExecuteFile keyword! -Wilfred
