Hello,

I am trying to give a link to my already created mail merged letter, however if i just to a followhyperlink command it doesn't work. Access freezes and the data wont link

Can any help me get around this please?

if your word document is a file on your HD put a label on your form. set this label as hyperlink. set the hyperlinkaddress to your document
