Shell Function and Text Documents

[Dyndrilliac]

If you use

Code Select Expand

Shell (App.Path + "\TextDocument.txt" Would it open the text document in the default program? (I.E., Notepad)

[Spht]

Try it?

[K]

No.  You can use the ShellExecute API for this purpose, though.

You can run it as a parameter of notepad, ie shell("Notepad C:\system.ini") will probably open system.ini in notepad.

Code Select Expand

Shell "notepad " & myTextFilePath, vbNormalFocus

Yep.

[iago]

Code Select Expand

Shell "notepad " & myTextFilePath, vbNormalFocus

Yep.

Although I would recommend UEdit32, www.ultraedit.com.  I use it for all my non-programming.
