I need help. In my application there is a textbox where a filename appears. I would like to have a button in my form that when pressed will run a program (say MSWord) that will automatically open the file whose filename is in the textbox. I cannot find a way to do and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me. It is propably a bugger anyway. Thanks.
