Opening Access From Word

NotGood@All

I want to put a command button on a word form that opens Access and its main
menu. Can someone show me how to do that??
Thanks

If all you want to do is open it, use:

Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\msaccess.EXE", 1

If you need to do something with it, see the article "Access a database and
insert into a Word document the data that you find there" at:
