Recalling snapshot documents

[mvining]

I am trying to open a snapshot document using the following code:

Shell "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\snapshot viewer\snapview.exe c:\my documents\test.snp"

Even though the snapshot document exists it seems the application tries to open it before it has completed loading and the snapshot viewer returns an error.

Can anyone help me please?

I prefer the ShellExecute method I am using to open a file in my
Browse [Find a directory or file] sample. It does not have the problems the Shell() function sometimes has.

Thank you very much, excellent sample. I will give the open file code a go with my database.
