You're welcome. I moved out here from Westchester County, NY five years ago.
I drove trucks in heavy construction for 30 years and I thought that NY had

Bruce, I have a question, as I have the same problem but with a pps file.
Except that I *do* have a file association. When the file is saved to hd and
double left clicked, it opens with PowerPoint no problem. However, if I click
on the file from within OE6, it gives me the message that I must create a file
association.

I suspect I've got something messed up in OE, I just don't have a clue what it
might be. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
