¤ Is there a way to tell if excel is associated with a filetype?
Try the FindExecutable API function call:
Declare Function FindExecutable Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "FindExecutableA" (ByVal lpFile As
String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal lpResult As String) As Int32
Function IsExcelInstalled() As Boolean
Dim DummyFile As String
Dim FileDir As String
Const MAX_PATH As Integer = 255
Dim FilePath As New String(" "c, MAX_PATH)
DummyFile = "e:\My Documents\book1.xls"
If FindExecutable(DummyFile, FileDir, FilePath) > 32 Then
IsExcelInstalled = True
End If
End Function
