open .txt file from with vba

I found what I wanted by Jon Summers, but the link will not take you anywhere it errors out. It appeared just what I was looking for

If you do a keyin the %

Manual KeyIns work like: %"C:\Text_C\Text MicroStation\MouseWheelSettings.txt"

Sub Jiri01()
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe ", 1)
ShowStatus "Open Notepad"
End Sub

But if you try the same thing from within VBA it will error out, been working for days on this simple thing.

even found the following , which did not work either!!
