----- Original Message ----- Although I feel he makes it fairly evident I thought I'd make a note for all. This does not work in Windows 2000 using the IE trick. It doesn't prompt to open Wordpad but rather just uses notepad. I feel this has something to do with the fact that the filesize limit inherent in Notepad for win9x isn't there in Windows 2000. Although I could be wrong on this I just know it doesn't affect Windows 2000 users. Scott Wade Systems Administrator ----- Original Message ----- Scott's dead on here - it's Win9x's notepad that sees the file is >64KB and prompts to launch WordPad. The NT/Win2K versions of Notepad don't have the filesize limitation (so will simply open the file). ------------------------------------------------- Curtis Anderson, CNE, MCSE ISM Manitoba - an IBM Global Services team member 400 Ellice Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3B 3M3 canderso () ism ca andersoc () ca ibm com -------------------------------------------------
