Shell command fails (1 Viewer)

[kirkm]

m = Shell("NOTEPAD.EXE" & Path & "\TempCompare.txt", 1)

I've used this successfully in Access .mdb and Win XP for ages. However in Win10 & .accdb file it is reporting File Not Found error.
Path & "\TempCompare.txt" does exist, so is it Notepad that can't be find? Something to do with .accdn files or Win 10?
Or should it work ok ?
Thanks (Path is Application.CurrentProject.Path)

Hi. Just in case, try adding a space between Notepad.exe and the Folder Path. For example:

m = Shell("Notepad.exe " & Path & "\filename.txt", 1)

Many thanks DBGuy. That was it! I missed the space when I retyped the line.

Congratulations! Glad to hear you got it to work. Cheers!

If there is any chance the variable might have a space in it, you might also consider more quotation marks just in case.
