Process.StartHello,
I'm trying to launch a text file in the Notepad application. When I click the menu item, the application is not launched and the text file is not launched. Listed below is the code. Code: Private Sub MenuItem_Help_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem_Help.Click 'Process.Start("Notepad.exe", "Help.txt") End Sub <lakep***@yahoo.com> schrieb:

This may sound a bit simplistic, but is the path to the Help.txt file on the local machine? Or is it on a network?

It's not ASP code right? Here is what you do to debug these things. 1) trace it with the debugger and make certain the event fires and that line executes. 2) spell notepad.exe as "errorpad.exe" and see if it fails. 3) substitute any other app you have installed for notepad and see if it works. 4) open a new project, add a new form, add a new button and put the notepad code in that one. Let us know what happened. <lakep***@yahoo.com> wrote in message Show quoteHide quote news:1167533321.779242.278970@n51g2000cwc.googlegroups.com... > Oops. Sorry.

I put a breakpoint in the method and it never
executed. The code was in the incorrect method.
