    Resolved Open Text File In Notepad {RESOLVED}

    My application generates a number of .Log files. All are standard text files that I can easily view in Notepad. What I'd like to do is add a menu item which, from within my program, my user to open them and view them, in notepad. I've tried:
    VB Code:
    1. Shell "c:\myfolder\mylog.log", vbNormalFocus

    2. 'and I have tried

    3. Shell "notepad.exe c:\myfolder\mylog.log", vbNormalFocus
    And neither one works. What am I doing wrong?
