ACCESS 2007: CREATE A BUTTON ON FORM TO LAUNCH MS WORD

[WILYWAYNE]

I AM CONVERTING FROM ACCESS 2002. WE HAVE A FORM WITH COMMAND BUTTONS TO
LAUNCH WORK AND EXCELL FROM THE ACCESS FORM. IN 2007, THE BUTTONS DO NOT
WORK. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY PROVISIONS ON THE MACRO DESIGN OR THE
COMMAND RUNAPP AVAILABLE...HOW CAN WE RE DESIGN THE FORM TO INCLUDE THIS
COMMAND BUTTON?

WILY,

In order to see the RunApp action in the macro design window, you may need
to click the 'Show All Actions' button on the ribbon.

You will also need to ensure that Access 2007 is set to recognise the folder
where the database is as a Trusted Location.
