In your OnClick event handler just add this:

Shell("Notepad.exe inv.txt")

You might need to add some more information if inv.txt in not in the current directory, etc...
This will start notepad and open inv.txt in a SEPARATE process (asynchronously).

If you need to do something more elabore contact me using my e-mail.

Chris.
