Hi!

I want to open a MDI file by a click on a form, is this possible?

Kind regards, Stefan van der Hooft.

Click to expand...

If you have the file's extension associated with an application on the machine, then you can use the Shell function:

Sub YourButton_Click()
Shell "Full path to your MDI file", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Dev Avish's site has a better process, in my opinion, that allows you a bit more control over the process. The outcome
is the same, but you can trap erros and such a bit easier with it:
