Hi,

How can Open a TEXT file with MS- word, not with the notepad.exe using shellExecuteex or another API.

thanks
Anis

I have never worked with it, but I would check out the Microsoft word object library in references. You should be able to specify your txt file and launch from there.

Add a reference to Microsoft Word X.0 object library first:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim MSWord As Word.Application
Set MSWord = New Word.Application

MSWord.Documents.Open "c:\MyTxt.txt"
MSWord.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
MSWord.Visible = True

Set MSWord = Nothing

End Sub
