Yeah, I though of that as well, but the file (path included) is inserted into the memo object by way of an OpenFileDialog.....
I actually have the ReadOnly flag of the memo object set to true so a user wouldnt be able to change the text.
Any other reason one can imagine I would get a 1 returned from the system command? Searching Borland's help files only mentions negative return on error and zero for success. (However, Borland simply calls Microsoft's built-in command, so I dont expect to find an extensive explanation).
I'm retiring for the evening, but will search fresh in the morn...

[edit]
Oooh...Just caught the ShellExecute...

I'll work with that tomorrow. Thanks!
