Visual Basic hyperlink

[Jasper Recto]

How do I accomplish this task:

I want to be able to put a hyperlink in a word document. I want the link to
run a certain visual basic command.
That command is: Shell("C:\WINNT\Explorer.exe /n, L:\Vantage Documents\PN
12268700\", 1)

This command opens a folder in windows explorer in a single pane view

I can't use a traditional hyperlink because it opens the folder in a double
pane view.
How would I create a script to run that command and how would I make it a
hyperlink?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
Jasper

use a macrobutton field styled up to look like a hyperlink (ie, style
the field hyperlink char style)

Hi Jasper.

Put the command into a Word macro. Then create a MACROBUTTON field within
the document that calls the macro.
