opening a file

[nikhil]

Hello every one,

Can any one tell me the syntax for opening and closing a file in
associated program from C++.
For an instance I got a MS word file. How can I open it in MS word
from a console program in C++. and also how can I close any
application from the console program ( like closing MS word opened in
previous step).

I'm using Visual Studio 2005.

thanks

What makes you think a C++ question is topical in a C group?

Given that he doesn't want to open the file in his program, but rather
how to get the "associated program" (ie: MS-Word in his case) to open
and close it, I doubt that clc++ is the right place, either. This is
clear by the unquoted part of the OP:

The right place would be one of the Windows-specific groups, but I
don't know which one.

Geez. Don't send him to clc++ with all that non-standard crap.

Your answer is somewhere in the area.
Your question is about OLE Automation.
Happy hunting.

Glad to hear it. Can you have pointers to info about what the API will
