    Did you try searching our CodeBank? There are a few examples there, such as:

    http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...le+association

    As to the error.. what kind of user are you logged in to Windows as (eg: admin/power user/limited user)?
    What code are you using, and where does the error occur?

    It would also help to know exactly what the error is (as that tells us what the problem is).
