i didnt read your code. but if writing on a notepad is your problem, i hope this helps.

Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim strm As TextStream
Set strm = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\test.txt", ForWriting)
strm.WriteLine ("String to write")

The FSO option works great if you are writing to a text file, but it would still need to be opened.

Simple: Call Shell("NotePad.exe " & FileName, vbNormalFocus) Better:

Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL As Long = 1

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
   Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
  (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
   ByVal lpOperation As String, _
   ByVal lpFile As String, _
   ByVal lpParameters As String, _
   ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
   ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Call ShellExecute(Me.hWnd, "Open", "c:\TextFile.txt", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOWNORMAL)
