One of our databases is using 'Auto Lauch First Attachment" to open MS Word and Excel, as well as Adobe PDF files. This worked perfect until we upgraded to Notes V7. Now each time Notes tries to open one of these documents we get a Window asking what application we want to open the document with.
Any idea what changed and how to fix this?
Thanks,
Dieter

Response from IBM Application Development Support Team:
The issue you described of ‘Auto Launch First Attachment’ not holding the choices made to open the attachments in N/D 7 was reported as a regression under Software Problem Report PBAO6GEE4E and has been addressed in N/D 7.0.2. This version is currently scheduled for release in Sept. of 2006.
There is no workaround to this regression.
It has been suggested that instead of using “Auto Launch First Attachment” that a possible workaround could be used in the PostOpen event of the form:
@Command([EditDocument];“1”);
@Command([EditGotoField];“placeattachmenthere”);
@Command([EditSelectAll]);
@Command([AttachmentLaunch])
However, this has not been successful for all users.

It’s not currently listed in the Notes/Domino Fix List for 7.0.2:

Hope they didn’t decide to drop it from that point release.
