I would like to use the shell command to open a certain file in notepad.  I
have figured out how to open notepad and a file using:

Shell ("c:\windows\Notepad.exe d:\foo.txt")

but the problem is that the filename may change and is specified in a variable
called "filename".  I need to have notepad open with whatever string is
contained in the "filename" variable.

Thanks,
Jeff

Be sure a space is after exe and ".

I was doing everything but that.  BTW,  the & sign will also work.

Thanks much,

Jeff

Don't forget to include the blank space after the .exe.
