That's because notepad is a "command Prompt" command whereas Wordpad isn't
(though it is a "Run" command). Try it in the console window

Hi Again,
Does anyone know why if I put the following line in my code nothing happens, but if I
change Wordpad to Notepad is works perfectly!?!?
If OpenTxt Then
Run Program "Wordpad " + SelFile
Also is there any way to count the number of characters in a field, but only count
consecutive characters where there is no space? I am using;
Len(Name) >20
But this counts the total number of characters including spaces, I would like to stop
counting once a space is encountered. I am trying to make sure that no name is greater
than 20 characters, unless it is a double barrel word.
TIA
Steve
