Dear Kris,

Thank you so much for your reply, and for sending me the program
Assoedit.exe.

I'm not sure what fixed the problem, but when I ran Assoedit.exe, a small
blank window appeared, I clicked on "Associations" in the title bar, and I
then clicked on "Association by File Filter" on the drop down menu.

That showed *.Apr, and when I clicked on that it said: "Lotus Approach for
OS/2 Warp 4." I clicked on "OK", and closed the program. I then found the
icon for the .APR file, clicked on that , and it worked!

I don't know if that is a coincidence, or if running the progam the way I
did fixed it. In any case, I am grateful.

As to what I was doing when it stopped working, I wish I could remember. I
suspect I was doing two or three things at one time. Smart Suite doesn't
seem to like multi-tasking.

I hope it stays fixed this time, but if it "breaks" again, I will try and
let you know exactly what I was doing at the time.

With much appreciation,
Sandy
