I was wondering if it was possible to open a file in the default program. For example, I want to open a .txt file and open it up in the notepad program--not in my program like you usually do.
Thanks in advanced.

I believe there is a FAQ on this. Have you had a chance to look there?
No, no, no--I mean open up the actuall program "Notepad" with the desired .txt file opened inside it.
What I am doing is writing a program that allows someone to view the ReadMe.txt. When they choose to do this, Notepad opens up with ReadMe.txt inside (similar to opening a .txt file as people usually do).
Ah, you mean the FAQ on running programs from within programs then.
>> No, no, no
No, you didn't check the FAQ, or no you think I misunderstood you?
Here's the FAQ I was thinking of:

The last option is probably your best bet, as you can pass it a document and let whatever application is setup to open that document open it.
Ah! Thankyou very much.
