Opening an application from a text box

[Colin Foster]

Hi,
I've been good and done some of my own research & found out how to set this
up (reference to MS Kb Article 325234.
However! Whilst it works beautifully in Excel, I can't get it to work in
Word (which is the example that the guys from MS give!)
All that I get is an error message saying the file doesn't exist ( it
does...AND it's in the My Documents folder!) then I am presented with a new,
blank document.
Any ideas?
Regards
Colin Foster

I'd suggest asking this in microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners or
microsoft.public.word.vba.general.

This newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product that's
part of Office Professional.

Thanks for that, Doug. I wasn't sure whether this was the best place.

I just tried it and it appears to work. Will you copy and post the text from
your code?

Hi Wayne,
Stupid...stupid...stupid
What a moron I am!!!
I was forgetting to include the .doc filename extension when looking for the
file!!!!!!!!!
So, sorted
Thanks for your time & trouble
