I created a from with a common dialog control. How can I
navigate to a file and open it? Example: I need to open a
file and it has an extetion of ".xls". When I select it,
then the file would open in excel, likewise for any other
file types, ".doc" opens in word, ".pdf" opens in acrobat
and so on.
 
In VBA try
Application.FollowHyperlink ("<Document Path Here>")
