Opening A Word Document In Access

[Irwin109]

Hi, it's me again!!!
Having another problem with Access. Recently we had Office 2003 installed on
the computers and I was using 2007 so my front end threw up piles of errors,
so I decided it'd take less time to make a new one.

Here is the problem:

I want a button to open a Word (2003) document "Care Needs Plan.doc" but
when I do it using the button wizard, on clicking the button it comes up with
"Invalid Procedure Call Or Argument", can I add some Visual Basic Code to get
a button to open this without a problem?

Yes, depending upon how you want to open it, you can use the following code:

or set a reference in your code window (Tools >>> References) and open the
Word doc within Access.
