Launch non-specific word processor

[jkfeagle]

OK. This may be a no-brainer and if it is then perhaps that would explain the state I'm in. I know you can launch MS Word from Access but is there a way to launch a non-specific word processor? In other words, perhaps utilize the user's associations in Windows to lauch whatever their word processor of choice is? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Paul. I see how it would use associations if an existing document was inputed as the hyperlink, but what if you wanted to launch into a new document?
