OK Steve,

If i create a file using myApp, when I put the mouse over it the balloon help 
shows it as Type: WXYZ file, if I double click it it will launch myApp and its 
contents will be displayed.

When I create a text file in myOtherApp, when I put the mouse over it  the 
balloon help shows it as Type: File, I now have to manually drop it over 
myApp's icon for it to launch myApp and have its contents displayed.

Lennox.

does your document file name end with the appropriate extension .WXYZ
If not, the file association won't work.

If you double-click the document icon (in Windows Explorer - similar to the
Finder) does you app launch?

If not, the file association is not configured properly.
