I don't know what you're talkin about but if you try

Shell "C:\Whateverpath\whateverfile.whatever"

It might work for whatever but if it doesn't then whatever. see ya.

Loads a text file into a textbox:

Dim tempstr As String
CommonDialog.Filename = ""
CommonDialog.ShowOpen

If CommonDialog.Filename <> "" Then
Open "text.txt" For Input As #1
Do While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, tempstr
TextBox.Text = Textbox.Text & vbCr & tempstr
Loop
Close
End If
