Interesting problem opening a text file using ms visual c..

Hi,

Now that I have successfully managed to open a text file using notepad (with
memory mapped file support) and wordpad, I wanted to analyse my text file
using a hex editor… so I decided to open the text file using MS visual C,
opening the file in binary mode.

double clicking on the file from the msvc open dialog box, I get an error
message saying that the file cannot be found!!

has anyone come across this problem before? any ideas why I cant seem to
open the file under msvc but with notepad or wordpad, it can successfully
locate the file and open it?

kinda confused,

James,

Use a file monitor to see what operations MSVC performs on the file, then
youll have a picture about what could go wrong.
