Default Open a non xls file (emulate the double-click from Windows Explore

Hello,
From within my Excel VBA I want to run another file (which will in-turn
start the associated application) when certain conditions exist.
The Shell statement works on the EXE. I need something similar in concept
to work on the actual data file (".anx" and others).
It would be the equivalent of double-clicking on a data file in Windows
Explorer.
Many Thanks for your help.
