Open a Notepad as a message 1

[seaport]

What I want to do is to open a notepad on the fly and dump some messages into the notepad. That notepad will not saved unless the user intends to do so. The user can print the message or close the notepad after viewing it.

The bottom line is to create a simple way to output non-relational data (data not in a table). I can accomplish the same job with an Access report, or using Word Automation. But it is kind of complicated.

Thanks in advance.

You can Shell Notepad and use SendKeys to write data.

[tt]Private Sub cmdTextpad_Click()
RetVal = Shell("Notepad.EXE", 1)
AppActivate RetVal
SendKeys "%(FX)", True
End Sub[/tt]
