    File Association

    I have written programs using C++/MFC and it is relatively easy to associate a file extension with my program. So that when, in the File Manager, the user clicks on a '*.LIQ' file it knows to open it with my application.
    Is there a way to do this in Visual Basic?

    Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning -- Rich Cook
