   Invoke app from doc

   In a VB6 messaging application, I am adding attached documents.   
   How do I let a user open a selected doc in its correct parent app?   
      
   1) Use ShellExecute API?   
   2) find the app from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, then call Shell()?   
      
   I think I have done it easily before, but I can't remember how!
