OPen MS Word Doc from XP

[tonyb]

I want to open a specific MS Word document using a button within an Access XP form. I used to be able to do it in Access 97 but the code didn't work when I converted the database from 97 to XP.

Could someone point me in the right direction please.
In 97 I used stuff like Word.Application, AppActivate and Add

Thanks

Do you have a reference set to a Microsoft Word Object library?

Go to any code module. Then Tools>>References menu and see if there's a check next to MS Word. If there isn't, check one.

Your code should work if the reference is set.
