Hi,

I would like to be able to open up a text file from a VFP 7 form. I'm able to do so using this code:

LOCAL lcFile

lcFile = THIS.txtResults.Value

IF !EMPTY(lcFile) AND FILE(lcFile) AND UPPER(JUSTEXT(lcFile)) == "TXT"
  lcFile = "notepad " + lcFile
  RUN &lcFile
ENDIF 

However, when the above code is run you get the text file opened in notepad but you can see a DOS window in the background until you close the file. Is there any way you can do this without showing the DOS window?

Thanks,
Chris
