Hi,

Try adding this code to the AcadDocument_Activate() event.....

Dim retval As Variant
retval = Shell("C:/Windows/notepad.exe " & "C:/filename.txt", vbNormalFocus)

...changing the "C:/filename.txt" for the correct path and filename of the text file you want to load..
With the vbNormalFocus bit, the text file will open infront of the AutoCAD window but not maximised - only about half screen size..

Anyway, I hope this helps..

Cheers,

Paul @ basepoint designz..
