Try something like that:

Code: Select all

cProg	:= 'c:\windows\notepad.exe'
cParam := 'x:\log\'+m_filename
_Execute ( GetActiveWindow() ,, cProg , cparam ,, 5 )

It should help, I think.

Dear Marek
Thanks for your supports.
It realy works.
I replace 'notepad.exe' with 'wordpad.exe', and fail to open .txt file while there is space in path string.
ex. cParam := GetDesktopFolder()+'\'+m_filename
cParam will be 'c:Documents and Settings\...'
please help!

I've made some test and it works good to me.
I've closed parameter with " characters for sure:

Code: Select all

	cParam := '"' + GetDesktopFolder()+'\' + cFile +'"'

but, it's not necessary, I think.
Are you sure your problems are caused with spaces in file name?
In my Windows XP system, WORDPAD.EXE is NOT placed in WINDOWS directly, but in:
c:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe
Maybe your problem solution lays here?
