I left out
myfile = DocumentsFolder.child("myfile")
f=DocumentsFolder.child("myfile")
myfile = DocumentsFolder.child("myfile")
f.launch myfile.absolutepath
or
myfile.launch
does not work,getting a NilObjectException error and four instances of the
blank document appears.
How do I code that pushbutton?

I have a document in my DocumentsFolder named myfile, if I double-click myfile
it will launch myApp, create a new window for myApp and the contents of myfile
will be displayed.
Now, I would like to code a pushbutton in myOtherApp so that when pushed it
will launch myApp, create a new window for myApp and the contents of myfile
will be displayed.
f=DocumentsFolder.child("myfile")
f.launch myfile.absolutepath

Thanks.

If i create a file using myApp, when I put the mouse over it the balloon help
shows it as Type: WXYZ file, if I double click it it will launch myApp and its
contents will be displayed.
When I create a text file in myOtherApp, when I put the mouse over it the
balloon help shows it as Type: File, I now have to manually drop it over
myApp's icon for it to launch myApp and have its contents displayed.

does your document file name end with the appropriate extension .WXYZ
If not, the file association won't work.
If you double-click the document icon (in Windows Explorer - similar to the
Finder) does you app launch?
If not, the file association is not configured properly.
