Please don't shout!
Posting to a newsgroup in all caps is considered as shouting and is
rude. I'm sure that is not your intent.
Please, the next time you post, don't use your Caps Lock key.

To answer your question, you can code the click event of a command
button:
Application.FollowHyperlink "c:\FolderName\MyDocName.doc"
