opening MS Word

[damo]

Hi,

Im just looking for a bit of code to open a Word97 document from Access 2.

Thanks.

If you only want to open the document then set a hyperlink to it using a label or button.

use this code on clickevent to automatically print a word doc and close form. if you just want to open it leave out the print part

Dim WordObj As Object
Set WordObj = CreateObject("word.Application")
WordObj.Documents.Open "c:\document.doc" ' or use (Me![documentpath]) for gettingpath from textbox
WordObj.PrintOut Background:=False
WordObj.Quit
Set WordObj = Nothing

Hope This Helps
