Why would you want to do that? What use is opening notepad on the SQL Server machine?

What are you trying to achieve here?

I think it shold be done at front end with something like this for VB.NET after the SP has been executed


Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Dim program As New Process() 
program.StartInfo.FileName = "Notepad.exe" 
program.StartInfo.Arguments = " " 
program.Start()

PBUH
