It does it on two different machines with two different versions of TextPad (8 & 9), but I will give it a try.

Thanks,

Weird, your suggestion of putting the caret on the line and pressing enter worked, but only once. Subsequent tried do not open the file.

I copied them to C\tmp and it works. I don't under why it doesn't work from my N: drive (a network drive). They open just fine, otherwise.

FYI: if I rename the file so it doesn't exist, I get the same error dialog as you. That is, I only get the error if the file exists.

Here is a screenshot after I double clicked. Note the status line. If I copy/paste one of the paths into the open dialog, the file opens fine.

I'm just trying to do a search for a literal string of digits, but it always fails even though the number exists. I get two dialog boxes. One says the ...

OK, thank you.

Is there a way (i.e., a command line option) to force an older version of TextPad to install over a newer version without having to uninstall first?

I just noticed something odd version 9.3.1 today. I cannot use ctrl-a to select all files in the open file dialog. I always could in older versions. I just checked 8.17.1 and it still works fine. I can select multiple files using other methods, though.

Is this a bug or was this behavior changed in ...

Thanks for the quick fixes!

Got it. Thank you!
