how can i open data in the associated application?

[mekdam]

I've made an application and associated a filetype to it using the registry. When I double click the data file, it opens the application but doesn't load the data from the file, how do I fix this?

thank you.

Please post some code here.

For example

I am trying to open up a specific workbook labeled below: I can get the application to open but not the specific workbook/spreadsheet. Please help what am I missing?
