Hy,
when you have saved an file into an Blob (or you have saved the file on your HDD) and you will open it, you can use hyperlink. But hyperlink doesn't support all fileextensions and it will only open the regist. application or this fileextension (for exapmle Notepad for *.TXT) but when you need to open the file with an other Application, the user must have (will have) the chance to select the application he will use. For this case you can use "Standard functionality of windows". So i use the "Open with" Dialog. You must not reg. new DLLs!
Here an example: I've save the file into an Blob. Then i've save the Filename an the extension in semerate fields.
so, have fun with my codeexapmle.
Regards

Rec.CALCFIELDS(Attachment);
IF Rec.Attachment.HASVALUE THEN BEGIN

CLEAR(FileDialog);
Root := FileDialog.OpenFile('Dateipfad...',Root,4,Rec."Attachment Extension" + '|*' + Rec."Attachment Extension",1);
IF (STRPOS(Root,':\') <> 0) THEN BEGIN

IF ISCLEAR(MSCShell) THEN
CREATE(MSCShell);

END;
so, have fun with my codeexapmle.
