    I'm creating a program. One of the functions is to open up the help file, if the user needs help. Lets say that the user help file is in App.Path + "\Help.txt"
    How can I load it when the user clickes the Help command button?
    I don't want to load it in the program, but through notepad, or wordpad, or whatever file it opens through.
    I just want it to open like other readme files do.

    You can open Notepad with your file as parameter like this:
    Code:
    Call Shell( "notepad.exe " & App.Path & Iif( Right( App.Path, 1 ) = "\", "", "\" ) & "Help.txt", vbNormalFocus )
