Hi all, I'm building a simple logging program in VB5. I'm entirely self-taught using a couple books and the help files, so if I'm missing something obvious, that's probably why.

Anyway, I'm trying to get my program to be able to open old logs in notepad. I can't seem to to figure out how to do this. I've tried the Shell function, but that just opens notepad. When I try to specify my file instead of the program it gives me an error (Invalid procedure call or argument) which doesn't really surprise me.

I'm assuming I need to open notepad, and then tell it to open the file, I just don't know how and can't seem to figure it out..

Thanks!
