asked on
file association in Windows 7
I am trying to set up the default program that opens a .VMX file to be an execuatable on a network drive which is called VM.exe. If go through "Set up Default Programs" applet in Windows 7 to do this, after you click on the VM.exe, nothing happens (VM.exe is not set up as the default program to open .vmx files).
I think this is due to the fact that VM.exe is on a network drive.
How do I get this to work?

This is not what I am looking for. I already know that Visual opens this file. Windows 7 will not let me make this file association because the exe is on a network drive.
drock1978--If you right click on the .dwg file are you offered the Open With option? If so, click on that. Is ERP Visual offered--either in the first window or when you click "Choose default program"? If not, can you access ERP Visual when you click Browse?

This worked! Thanks.
.vmx in my case needs to be opened by Infor Visual, but the steps do this are the same.
