Here is the codes to open notepad from a Pdox button.

Create a button on your form
Add this statement to the PushButton method:
Execute("Notepad.exe&quot
That's it!

However, make sure the application you are openning does not interfer with Paradox, you could crash Pdox.

Example:
This pushbutton would open a text file, mydoc.txt, in Notepad.

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
Execute("Notepad.exe C:\\mydoc.txt&quot
endMethod
