Hi there!
Does somebody know how I can open and display a text file on the desktop while writing to it from MS Access?
To write, I am using the "Open..Print#" statements, however, I haven't found out yet how to display the file...
Thanks!
Roberto
there are probably lots of ways to display a text file on the desktop. One way that comes to mind is to shell a copy of notepad with the text file.
However, until you close the text file, it probably has 0 length and nothing will show.
Another way would be to create a form in Access with an edit control. As you read lines from the text file, append the lines to the edit control, and refresh the form.
