I have a customer with this situation - users get a mix of Office apps and
viewers based on their role. One might get Word and Excel, but not
PowerPoint, so he gets the PowerPoint viewer. I wrote a VB script that runs
during login which checks group membership for the various Office apps. If
the user is in the Word group, his file associations are configured to give
him the Word app. If the user isn't in the Word group, he gets the Word
viewer. Same for the other Office apps. Email me off list if you want it.

Subject: [THIN] Different file types for different users??
I need to be able to have different users profiles' open the same file with
a different program.. Specifically, I need one group to be able to open an
Excel spreadsheet with Excel, and the other group to be able to open it with
one the Excel Viewer. The default behavior for each of these groups should
be as such. But, when I go to the "File Types" tab, I am unable to change
anything.. I thought perhaps this would be configurable at a profile-level.
Am I missing something here?? Anyone have any pointers for me??
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
