Hi, i am trying to open a word document within access to allow the user to review but not change the document.
the process is as follows. the document gets created in word by the author and saved to a location on the server. we then have another form opened by the reviewer who can say click a button and see the stored word document in a preview window similar to the internet explorer active x window used to view pdf files.. I know we can easily create a button to just open the file in word but ideally only being able to preview in access would be ideal.
Can this be done?
