DryLab Query - opening files

Hi there,

I'm not to sure if I have a bug within the software itself, but every time I try to open a file from either windows explorer or from a hyperlink within another non-DryLab file, DryLan always opens the last viewed file.

Does anyone know if there is anyway to rectify this?

Unfortunately, no (or at least not easily).

The only workaround that I know of would be to write a small VBasic program that calls DryLab and and then has DryLab open the file (I've done this in the past using VBA in Excel or Powerpoint to open specific files; it makes for a nice teaching tool). There are a couple of examples in the "Toolkit" folder in the DryLab subdirectory.
