Opening a *.txt in Notepad

[chuck00]

This should be so simple, I know. I have already created and closed the file, let's say "xyz.txt", and now I need to open it in notepad so the user can see, edit, and/or Save As. How do I do this in VB6?

Try calling notepad with Shell and add the file's name and path as a parameter

Welcome to the forums.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Shell "notepad c:\xyz.txt", vbNormalFocus
End Sub
