That's amazing. The two names were so close that it was difficult to see
the difference and it was likely just a typo. Nice catch.

The error message from ShellExecute was pretty accurate though :o)

Because one filename is steerprt.txt and the other is steerptr.txt.

I have a section of code that needs to output to a text file using
CStdioFile
and then immediately display it using notepad.

I have tried the following, but it doesn't find the file. However, if I
go
to window explorer, the file is there. Any Ideas?

CStdioFile af;
if
(af.Open(theApp.WORKDIR+"steerprt.txt",CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite))
   {
     af.WriteString(tstr);
     af.Flush();
     af.Close();
   }
HWND mainhwnd = GetSafeHwnd();
ret1 = (int)
ShellExecute(mainhwnd,"open",theApp.WORKDIR+"steerptr.txt","",theApp.WORKDIR,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

ShellExecute returns 2 (File not found)
