Win98 is asking you what program you want to use to open this file...but if
you named it correctly ...CARDFILE. EXE ....then the exe extension tells
windows it IS a executable ...or program.

Check your file name..do you have a period between cardfile and exe ?

After you get it working and create some cardfile files...which look like
this .... whatever.crd ......you can double click on the crd file and this
box will appear. At this point you can point it to Cardfile.exe. Once you
have that association you can create a shortcut to your crd file...put the
shortcut directly off your start menu and assign it a shortcut key.
This is what I do ...I key CTRL ALT A and my address cardfile pops up.
