FMP6 : how to open files with FM and not Acrobat ?

#1

By an unknown manner, my client now has his FMP6 files opened by
Acrobat, when double-clicking on their name. He strongly asked me to
reverse the situation to what it was, ie make them opened by the
FileMaker program (Windows 7 Home Premium).

On my PC (Win7), the same files do open with FMP.

I tried the "Open with" action to choose FileMaker.exe, but that is
disregarded and it comes back to its 'preferred' action, ie Acrobat.

Could you help me ? [I risk my reputation...]

Thanks a lot.

Are you choosing open with then choose default program and then after
selecting FileMaker making sure the checkbox that says "always use the
selected program to open this type of file"?

Thanks for your answer.
Yes, I did. Now I tried again, and, ..., it worked.
Thanks again for your help and support.
