If I open the application; and then File>Open> and choose the file, it opens fine, can be edited and saved, etc. It behaves completely normal.
However, if I start from the file and use it to open the Application; it opens the application and a New, blank file and gives application pop-up errors about "Failed to launch blahblahblhablah...sky. abc"; "Failed to launch blahblahblhablah...ground. abc"
If you proceed to open the file through the application; it opens, and behaves completely normal.
I have the associations set correctly, so any ideas as to what gives? This has occurred with every file I've created in this app, and on every machine I've had this app installed on.
The app is Punch! Pro ; if that makes any difference. Also; it is the file itself I'm talking about; not a shortcut.

Also, if it makes any difference; these files are . . . layered? Like .psd files in Photoshop. The program lets you do blueprints, riser diagrams, landscaping, etc all saved in that one file.

I'd say that if it is the exact same file you are using to "file->open", I can't understand why there would be a difference. Unless, of course, your OS is de-layering the file when you open it directly.
Edit: Is there a file that this same app can open that isn't layered? Maybe test that.

It IS the same file; I couldnt understand a difference either. The OS de-layering it sounds plausible...

There's not. It only opens/uses it's own, proprietary filetype (.PRO); and there's no other 'Save As' option.
