Problem adding NotePad to Form

[CactysJack]

Weird problem. I have a more or less finished split database which is working well. I want to add a command button for the NotePad application which should be easy to do. But when I add it I get an "Invalid Data" warning and an error message when I try to use it. Also the other command buttons stop working and I get the same error message. Any ideas?

I have the back-end Read-Only but it doesn't seem like that would hurt.

TIA,

John

I would be inclined to use code something like the following as an easy way of launching Notepad from a command button's OnClick event:

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("notepad", 1)

Thanks MP9,

I'll gie it a try and let you know. I have installed the NotePad command button the easy way on a near duplicate application which was not yet split and it worked fine.
