I am willing to make a vb exe file which will open another file when you click a button or something.
how can I do this?

btw I am having VB 2010 and when I do build application I don't know where the exe is being saved.

Thanks in advance for the helpers and sorry if this is the wrong section.

It depends on the what type of file you want to open but for the selection of the file you can use opendialog box control of vb

If you are sure that your application (.exe) and (.txt) files are in the same folder, then just use the file name - do not put the path.

Use app.path for the exe dir
