Error trying to run programs from System.Diagnostics.blah blah blah

[andycharger]

im trying to launch a text file document from vb.net using the code below:

However, when I press the button, I get the following message during debugging.

 

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in system.dll

 

Additional information: The system cannot find the file specified

 

 

However, the file is there.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

Sorry, code attached

 

  Private Sub Button1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseHover
       System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\odbcconf.txt")
   End Sub

 

This is the VB code im using!

I just tried your code and it worked fine.

 

Is the spelling of the text file in your code exactly the same as the saved text file?

I just copy and pasted the code into a new vb project, changed the path to "C:\boot.ini" - I knew that file was there and it worked fine.

 

Only thing I can think of is that the file isn't there.

Enable viewing file extensions for common types in your Windows and look if the file is not named "odbcconf.txt.txt", i get this problem sometimes.
