Hi I want to open any document without the .exe file to open it. Example. If I using shell("c:\program files\microsoft office\office\winword.exe c:\temp\mydoc.doc") I dont't wanna that. How i can only put Shell("c:\temp\mydoc.doc") or other command to open it. :)Be Humble in Victory and Strong in Defeat.:) -Het

I am not sure what you mean. But if you are trying to read a text file with a useing visual basic. You would do something like this. Dim my As IO.StreamReader Dim fileInfo As string Then something like my = IO.File.OpenText("A:grades.txt") fileInfo = my.ReadFileToEnd
