If the path to each file is different, enter the full path to the file
as well as the file name and extension into the field, i.e.
c:\FolderName\FileName.ext

Code the control's double-click event:
Application.FollowHyperlink [ControlName]

If the path is always the same, with just the file name different,
enter just the file name and extension.
Code the AfteUpdate event:
Application.FollowHyperlink "c:\FolderName\" & [ControlName]
