I am creating a database in access and want to create a control button on the
switchboard form that allows me to open a word file. Do you know if this is
possible? I know its possible to open the "word" application.

You could also use the following:

Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "winword.exe c:\TempPhone.doc"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
