API and Notepad

Is there an API that will open notepad?

More specifcally a text file in notpad? If so can someone tell me the code?

For example, someone clicks a button and the desired text file appears in notepad.....

You can just Shell Notepad and pass the file name as the command line argument.

Code:

---

Shell "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe C:\MyTextFile.txt", vbNormalFocus
