For future reference, please follow these guidelines when posting:

1. Always provide a descriptive thread title. This forum contains thousands of threads and everyone who posts needs some info. The title is supposed to tell everyone what your thread is about so they don't have to waste their time opening every single one to work out which are relevant.

2. Please keep each thread to a single topic and each topic to a single thread. You have asked three unrelated questions in one thread so you will possibly end up with three unrelated discussions all mixed up, making it hard for anyone to follow what's going on.

As for your questions:

1. When you say "open" do you mean run/execute? If so, you can call Process.Start to basically simulate with double-clicking a file in Windows Explorer or running the file from a command prompt.

2. Do you actually mean "save to a file" rather than "save to a form"? If so then you can look at the File.WriteAllText and File.ReadAllText methods.

3. That's far too general a question. We could suggest all sorts of things but they may not be anything like what you want. It's your app so you have to decide how you want it to work. If you then want help with the implementation, we can provide that. Your question(s) would need to be more specific though.
