Shell Execute Launch an Application and Open Files
You people are gonna LOVE ME LONG TIME for this! This MODULE's function will load (on Call) any file name and launch it's associated application based on the file extension! I know you've see those SHELL commands that just take a couple of lines but they may or may not work in Windows 98, WindowsNT and Win2000 and guess what MINE DOES! And it does it EVERY SINGLE TIME! (You need to insert your own error traps in the Whatever_Event() of your code. *.txt, *.mdb, *.xls, *.html, *.doc, *.rtf, *.Anything Man! long as there is an associated application for the file extension! Also has params for Specifying a working directory and you can also set the vbWhateverFocus like vbMinimized or whatever. vbNormailFocus is the default. But if you are a newbie then you don't have to set those params. Just call it like: Call Shell("C:\Wherever\YourFileIs.htm") NOTE: THIS MOD DOES NOT SHELL TO THE WEB. IT LAUNCHES ANY FILE BUT ONLY FILES THAT ARE RESIDENT ON THE BOX OR NETWORK THAT THE PROGRAM CALLING THE FILE IS ON!! EM Dixson http://developer.ecorp.net
