Yes, this has to seem like a very strange topic. :)
I have no idea if anyone here can help with this. It is actually more of a computer question than AnyRail and I know there are a lot of computer savvy people out there.
When I double click on an *.any file here in the forum my computer (Windows7) won't associate the file to the AnyRail program. That's fine, all I have to do, of course, is browse for the program and open it in that manner. However, the box to choose to associate the *.any file with AnyRail is greyed out. Sure, this is a fairly minor inconvenience and doesn't take an excessive amount of time to open it manually but, I like things to work like they should!
The *.any file is already associated with AnyRail anywhere else on my computer. The only time I have issues is here.
Any thoughts out there?

Please explain what 'anywhere else' and 'here' is ?
Are you perhaps talking about different folders ? Could it be that the folder is set to 'read-only' ? Or you don't have permissions to write in that folder ?

Sander,
This sounds like a problem with your browser. Which browser are you using?
Paul,
I don't have any problem with my browser. Charles has the problem.

You may have a point there. I use Firefox mostly but it does seem to have a number of difficulties. I'll check it with IE.
Thank you for the pointer!
On Edit: That was the problem. I'll have to see if I can get FireFox straightened out. Thanks!

"Here" is on this forum. "anywhere else" is anyplace on my drives :). I think Paul may have hit on it. It could be FireFox. Going to check that out now.
