Open document in WordPad?

B

Blake

I don't have any helpfile creation tools and I would like
to make a helpfile approximation. I have placed a
questionmark icon on userform; clicking on it opens a
document. However, I would like to open that document in
Wordpad since, without any toolbars, it almost looks like
a helpfile. Can I do this programmatically? If not, are
there any other solutions?

Thanks for any help.

There's a free helpfile creation tool included with Windows... if you
go to the Yahoo groups HATT you will find experts who will help you
prepare your first project and you'll never look back.

Otherwise its a Shell job, with a lot of messy code to determine the
path of WordPad.Exe, or even worse, sys calls to associate RTF files
with Wordpad, not Word, and then launch conventionally.

FWIW, there are several reasonably cheap, easy to use, commercial help
creation tools that can really help make it look way cool.
