https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/help-with-configuring-SAS/m-p/10302#M972 Hey guys,<BR /> <BR /> I'm having trouble with SAS 9.2, having upgraded from 9.1. When I was on 9.1, I would double click on a SAS program and with would open up for me in the program editor. <BR /> <BR /> Now, when I double click on a program, SAS runs it and creates a text file in the same directory (it looks like the log file). I want to change it back so that when I double click on it, it'll open up in the program editor for me.<BR /> <BR /> I'm running on Windows 7 64bit.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks Fri, 01 Oct 2010 00:22:38 GMT deleted_user 2010-10-01T00:22:38Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/help-with-configuring-SAS/m-p/10302#M972 Hey guys,<BR /> <BR /> I'm having trouble with SAS 9.2, having upgraded from 9.1.

Following the instructions for Phase 2, I see that I can only select/unselect files that sas uses. I can't actually select how SAS opens them. In addition, there appears to be an error in the registry when I try to make changes and click OK. <BR /> <BR /> Do you happen to have other suggestions?

The bottom area of the SAS forums discussion website contains a link to open a support track.<BR /> <BR /> Scott Barry<BR /> SBBWorks, Inc.
