Open File

[Igor]

Hi,
I have text field that I enter filename to it and command button that
pushing it has to open this file
with assosiating program: *.doc with Word, *.pdf with Acrobat etc.
Can someone explain how to accomplish this?
Thanks

For most purposes you can use the FollowHyperlink method; e.g.,

Application.FollowHyperlink Me!txtFileName

(where :"txtFileName" is the name of the control on the form that holds
the name-- with folder path if necessary -- of the file to be opened).
