Presumably by "notepad file" you mean a Windows plain text file, or are you using some special feature of Notepad that I have missed? Anyway, assuming you are just using open and not any OLE magic, then it is just a question of determining the correct path name for the file in open. The fact that a drive is networked should be transparent at that level.
i will be open a file on the network drive???
can you give an example depecting how to 'open' a file in the network drive???
and i've used just a simple notepad file no OLE magic...
