We had a similar problem and it doesn't work.  We had to have a client side exectuable that looks at the registry for the program associated to file extension.  Bascially we call 
 
winexecwait("c:/temp/shelexec.exe /f c:/temp/myfile.pdf /r:max")
 
and it works just fine.
 
look at http://www.naughter.com/shelexec.html

Hello list.

Does anyone know how to start a windows program from 4js depending on the
windows file extension.

Like :

LET    win_cmnd = "c:\\\\test.eml"
CALL  WinExecWait(win_cmd) returning ...


I would like it to start Outlook with the file test.eml but instead 4js
crashes.

Many thanks
