How to open the Word file associated with the record on a Access 2003 form

[Clare1234]

My database has upgraded from Access 2002 to Access 2003. Previously I used msoFileDialogFilePicker to open the Word document associated with the Record on the form. Unfortunately in the upgrade the Microsoft file containing this VB property has got lost. To save purchasing a new file I have rewritten the code that doesn't work. But I am stuck and cannot see a way to call up the Word record from the Access form. How did you go about this before Microsoft introduced the FilePicker Filedialog?

You could just use Shell, much simpler - assuming you've got the path to the word document in a field in your table you can just Shell Word, using the field contents as the file to open.
