Hi

Have at look at this

If you just want to open the other document, be it pdf, doc (word), or xls,
(excel), then just go:

application.FollowHyperlink "c:\path name\documentname"

eg:

application.FollowHyperlink "c:\mySheets\sales.xls"

The above command launches the document as if you double clicked on it to
open it....

Try using the wizard to place a command button on the form.....

It has a option to launch excel.....
