Hyperlink Access To a Word Document

I have an Access db which keeps details relating to a series of
reports ie how often are the reports produced, who they are sent to
etc. In a seperate Word document are the detailed instructions as to
how these reports run. I would like to link the db to the word doc.

Ideally the word doc would open either from a hyperlink or a button on
the Access form. I would like to open direct to the exact word.doc
page.

The word.doc is set up by having an index at the front which has a
hyperlink/field code direct to the correct page. (You hold down the
Ctrl and click the index name. and looks like (HYPERLINK
\/"_Toc167766496")

I can hyperlink ok from Access to to the Word Index page but I would
like to go to the actual page, any thoughts as to whether this is
possible, or indeed should I be posting to the "Word group"

To open any document you can use the Application.FollowHyperlink method

Application.FollowHyperlink "c:\temp\test.doc"

However, your request is a little more complicated.

Application.FollowHyperlink "c:\temp\test.doc#BookmarkName"

So in your case try

Application.FollowHyperlink "YourFilePath\DocumentName.doc#"_Toc167766496"

Daniel,
The actual hyperlink details that appear are as follows -
including the 2 squares !!!

C:\Report Guidelines\BAU Metadata
\Guidelines_minesh_recovery.doc#_Hlk172366464 1,5321,5420,21,,
HYPERLINK \l "_Toc167766496" 

I have tried various permutations but it still takes me to the
Index page rather than the actual page.

I cannot link to the actual page number as this document is
continually being updated, so if new instructions are incerted near
the front then all of the page numbers change, but the Index still
retains the correct location.
