How can I open a file...?

[Holger]

Hello world

I am looking for a command that simply opens any file by its associated program. Can you help?

Here you are:

Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal _
lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Public Const SW_MAXIMIZE = 3
Public Const SW_MINIMIZE = 6
Public Const SW_RESTORE = 9

retval = ShellExecute(Form1.hWnd, "open", "C:\Project\nucleus.doc", "", "C:\Project\", SW_RESTORE)
