I would like to open a text file which in located in the following folder, using the value that is typed into textbox2, so if I type 1904 into textbox2 and click my commandbutton1 then it will open the file named 1904.

I:\BROCKS FOLDER (PLEASE DO NOT DELETE)\CD PRICE FILES NSW

your help would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

    ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="I:\BROCKS FOLDER (PLEASE DO NOT DELETE)\CD PRICE FILES NSW\" & TextBox2.Value & ".txt", _
        NewWindow:=True
End Sub

Sorry, I didn't see you had solved it. It's still nice to see the solution so other people can use it.
