I'm running WordPerfect 2002 . I just applied SP3 and SP4. Now I
can't launch the Address Book from the shortcut on my desktop - the
shortcut had the Target "C:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office
2002\Programs\ccwin9.exe" /ab, which worked fine before I applied the
system packs.

It's not a critical problem because I can still access the Address Book
from within WordPerfect but it would sure be nice to regain the
capability to launch the address book directly.

Any suggestions for getting the shortcut to work as before?

Thanks,

Dave

WordPerfect 2002... did you mean WordPerfect Office 2002?

That would be WordPerfect 10....

Do you actually have a CorelCENTRAL 9 (which was with WordPerfect office
2000) in that directory structure:
"C:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office 2002\Programs\ccwin9.exe" ?

I though for WPO2002 it was ccwin10.exe ....

Your right, I meant WP10.

I just looked back to see how I got the combination of WP10 with ccwin9.exe.
>From the CDs I have and from what I remember, the following is the sequence
of events:

I originally purchased WP Office 2000 (Professional).

When I was unable to use it to type some Thai characters, I called Corel,

who as a solution shipped me the WordPerect Productivity Pack which includes
WP10 rather than the WP9 that I already had. (As a side, that didn't solve
the Thai font problem.)

I just looked on the Productivity Pack CD and there is no version of
either ccwin9 or 10 on it. So until now I've been using the ccwin9.exe that
came with the WP Office 2000 to access the address book but when I recently
applied the sp3 and sp4 updates, I lost the capability to spawn the address
book directly from my desktop.

That brings me back to the current problem for which I was looking for a
solution, if there is one.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dave

You could try doing a custom re-install of just WPO2000 CorelCENTRAL... I
don't know if this will cause any other adverse effects.

That seems to have worked fine. Thanks for your help.
