I've done a scan through existing threads to see if I couldn't find an earlier solution, but was unable to locate anything that seems similar to what I am attempting.

I know a bare minimum of programming in VBA.

What I am doing is creating an application I will utilize as a "switchboard" to look up reference materials. I'll be using the application to look up articles that I have saved in a MS Word 2003 format. I'd like to see if it were possible to browse the articles based on their topic from a combo box, then have Access open that document. I also have a separate type of document (standards) that I would like to do the same thing.

Any suggestions how I might achieve this?

Thanks for your time!

I'm not sure if there's a quicker way of achieving this. But try looking into Subforms, Filters, and Hyperlinks. Unless someone on here has other ideas to approach this.
