  Yes you can make a dll in VBE.

  No it isn't needed. You can bring up a text editor in a single line of code.

  process.start("notepad.exe")

  Did you set a breakpoint to make sure your code is called Have you tried putting that code somewhere else ( in your static void main, for example ) and seeing if it runs notepad - it certainly should.

  How did it 'not work' If you want it to open your file, you need to pass the path to it as a command argument. If you need to pass the path to notepad then your environment variables are broken, and you have to resolve %SystemRoot% yourself.

  Shak,

  Normally there is a path variable which includes that directory.

  When I open a command window, and enter:

  c:\>path

  it will display the path information for the system:

  C:\>path
  PATH=e:\Program Files\DirectX 9.0 SDK (October 2005)\Utilities\Bin\x86;C:\WINDOW
  S\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\Program Fi
  les\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;

  If you'll notice windows and windows\system32\ are pre-defined.

  I didn't mark my answer correct so the OP did. I was curious to know what the problem was.

  heres the code I used:
  
  Private Sub BackupValuesToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BackupValuesToolStripMenuItem.Click
  Process.Start("notepad.exe")
  End Sub

  I just tried:

  Process.Start("notepad.exe")

  and it worked the first time.

  Have you any error information

  Wait a second - are you saying that you wrote a text editor, and now you think you need to put it in a dll in order to run it from another app If so, then you just need Process.Start(path to your text editor). You certainly don't need a dll, either way.

  hi,

  i guess you have to find out where is the proplem exactly in your code or your notepad or may be your system

  try to replace Process.Start("notepad.exe") with Process.Start(full path to a program you wrote and you are sure its working)

  i guess that will make you figure out where is the problem because notepad is working here as well when i use this line

  hope this will help

  When I issue that command, Notepad comes up.

  You have a systems problem, not a coding problem.

  I believe that there is a problem with notepad itself.  Either the files is not there, there is a permissions problems or it's corrupted. What puzzles me is the absense of error messages.

  What version of Windows are you running

  Works Here Bigger Than Sin.......

  Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

  Process.Start("notepad.exe")

  End Sub

  End Class
