Open A Text File

[jimmythegeek]

Ok, I have looked in help, Knowledge base, FAQ's and it seems like this should be extremely easy. I have an app that runs 24/7 on a dedicated machine that copies files every 15 minutes. If there is an error, it writes it to an error log in the App.path. I have a button on the main form that says "View Error Log". I have tried Shell (only runs an .exe). The open method is for reading and writing behind the scenes, that's how I created the text file in the first place. All I want to do is open the error log in notepad. Shouldn't this be an easy thing to do??

Thanks in advance. Jim Lunde

Hi,

Try Shell("notepad.exe yourlogfile.txt&quot. Guess this should work.
