    Opening AutoCAD files

    Hello everybody,
    My form has a hyperlink to a AutoCAD .dwg file. Everything worked fine until I installed Autodesk TrueView 2017. Now when I click that hyperlink, the dwg file opens in TrueView instead of AutoCAD. DWG extension is associated with AutoCAD, and I have no problem with opening dwg files from the Explorer. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this issue?


    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Anatoli

    think you will need something like

    shell "path to Autocad.exe path to filename",vbnormalfocus
