Launch Native Office 2008 from Inside CrossOver

I'm running a Foxpro-based application (PastPerfect) that for a data-export tries to launch an .htm file in Excel. I do not have Office installed under CrossOver, nor do I want to. Office 2008 is installed natively on the Mac. Is there a way to "fool" CrossOver into thinking Excel is installed and have it launch the native Mac application?

I should also note that this isn't just a simple matter of setting up a file association. This is a situation where the program is trying to launch a file in Excel specifically that is not normally associated with Excel.

Please Note: This Forum is for non-application specific questions relating to installation/configuration of CrossOver. All application-specific posts to this Forum will be moved to their appropriate Compatibility Center Forum.
