Command buton lauches Word file

[Mark M S]

To launch a Word file is easy from the Command button wizard. You see this
procedure:

Private Sub Command183_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command183_Click

Dim oApp As Object

Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True

Exit_Command183_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command183_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command183_Click

What information would I need to add to open a specific Word file like
newborn.doc - a path c:\word\newborn.doc ?

Hi Mark,

I use something like:
Dim oApp as Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
With oApp
.Documents.Open (Full Path to Document Here)
.Visible = true
End With

Actually that suggestion didn't work for some reason so I tried the run
application and then included the winword.exe with the path and it ran
great. Thanks for the suggestions.
