I had notepad++ 6.7.7 installed from network source earlier, now upgraded to 7.8.6. Network source of 6.7.7 is found nowhere now. When I try to open an .sql file inserted in a word document, word always chooses notepad 6.7.7 and the file never opens, it tries to find the .msi source of notepad 6.7.7 which is found nowhere. how to change the default app that word uses to open an .sql file?

@Saravanan, Krishna Kumari Generally, the default app that Word calls to open a file is the same default app as you set for this file type in Windows. Are there any other .sql files stored on your local computer?

Hi Emily, If I select notepad++, I was getting the same error. Followed the same steps that you have described and chose Teradata SQL assistant, and tada!! it worked! Thanks for your help :)
