It seems that the extension we have created is not being properly checked when the mxd is doubleclicked. It works fine in all other startup methods. How exactly can I go about debugging this as starting Arcmap in debug mode is not possible form a mxd double click as far as i know?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:43:19 GMT artifact 2010-06-15T13:43:19Z Doubleclick mxd startup and debugging https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/doubleclick-mxd-startup-and-debugging/m-p/1150#M25 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Does the double clicking of an mxd to startup arcmap run a different startup sequence than other starting methods?
