maqleod Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) let me try run command....Cody i think that .txt is just for exampe, i should open any filefileopen does not just open any file, it is specifically for modification of files for use in other functions (filewrite(), filewriteline(), etc).You want Run() or ShellExecute() if you are going to be executing files.
