Open .sql file within one/existing PLSQLDev instance

[patricktoh]

Hope someone-out-there can help me,

I've set PLSQLDev as the default application to open .sql files.
When i click on a .sql file, an instance of PLSQLDEV will be launched. If i click on another .sql file, another instace of PLSQLDEV will be lauched ... and so forth ..

What can i do to ensure that each time i open a .sql file, it will use back the existing PLSQLDEV session, instead of open a new instance/session of plsqldev?

Rgds,
Patrick.

It is designed to work with just one PL/SQL Developer instance, and I'm not exactly sure what could cause this problem. Maybe you can try the following:
[*] Start regedit.exe

[*] Remove HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PL/SQL Developer

[*] Start PL/SQL Developer

[*] Go to Tools > Preferences > File extensions tab page

[*] Press the [Register Filetypes...] button, and press the OK button

[*] Quit PL/SQL Developer and double-click on 2 .sql files again
