RUNAPP ACTION

[delorey]

I am trying to use the RUNAPP action in a macro. I want to open a text file using WORDPAD from a button on a form so the user can verify that the source file is correct before importing it into Access. There is very little information about what I am supposed to put on the "Command Line" related to the RUNAPP action. I know the WORDPAD application is located at C:\WINNT\Profiles\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\WordPad.lnk, but entering this string didn't work. I would really appreciate any help.

You have put in the path to a Wordpad icon. I used this path and it worked:
"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"

Note the quote marks. I guess it has to be a string.
