attaching document images to a filepro file

[Richard D. Williams]

For windows I like to create a filepro table to stored info on the 
documents, i.e. a key number related back to the main file, full path 
for the pdf file, date, time, source, short name or description.

Then I create a browse lookup from at the the related key number record.
Pressing [ENTER] on the item in the browse launches the windows program 
associated with that file extension with a system command.

i.e.
system ("start \"\" /max \"c:\tmp\17-76714_POS4.PDF\"")

I do not work much with the windows version of filepro, so I am sure 
there is a better way.

Hope this helps,

Richard D. Williams
