What you are doing using the shell command is the same like typing something in the Run box, in you start menu. If you want to open a file to read it, then use the Open statement. If you want to open the file in it's default application, then use the ShellExecute API, an example code can be found at http://vbcode.webhostme.com/en/code.asp?id=101
