X=Shell("C:\Windows\wordpad.exe c:\cr\docs\packets\ntrolttr.rtf", 1)

Where would I go to find a list of the possible return values for X
and their implication when launching..

X=Shell("C:\Windows\wordpad.exe c:\cr\docs\packets\ntrolttr.rtf", 1)

Search Access Help for "Shell Function". If you get "RunApp Action" as a result,
click on the "Shell" hyperlink at the bottom of the help window.

The "possible" return values are determined at the time the specified program
successfully opens and is assigned a task ID by Windows.

The shelled process ID.

It uses the ShellExecute function, if you can find a copy of windows.h
then it has all those error codes in, you don't need them since
Shell() raises a runtime error if something's wrong.

Just a tip: posting the same question under different subject lines is a
good way *not* to get help in the future!
