Hello, new to this forum, but figured somebody here would be of help. I have written an Excel workbook and VBA file to manage inventory for the company I work for, I will be leaving this company in a few weeks and needed to leave some documentation/help files/how to on it so that the person who takes over my position can continue to use this file. So here's my question, I want to link to this file in my excel file (create a Command Button that when clicked will open this help file in Notepad). This help file is a .txt file, which I know I can open in excel but the formatting is shot when opened in Excel, does anyone know a way that VBA can open an external application like notepad? Thanks in advance. Ben
