Okay this is (edited) and I need an answer as fast as possible. I am having problems with changing the MText editor to an external editor. I type in mtexted and give it the following location for my editor: c:winnt\system32\notepad.exe When I try to edit Mtext I now get a message that says "cannot find shell program". This was working for me not more than 2hrs ago and now it bombs. I already installed all of the patches and service packs, I still need to change the editor to get limited underling in my Mtext notes. I am under a super tight dead line and need help quick.
