Yes.

If there could ever be more than one Word form a single customer then
I'd suggest that you have a subform on your current form which is
based on a table that has a record for each Word document. One field
of that record must have the full pathname of the document.

You can easily add code to open the selected document(s). One way is
to use the Shell() command. Another way is to use FollowHyperlink.
