Opening hyperlinks as read only

[Guest]

I have an Access database that has a hyperlink field which opens a Word
document. Is there any way to open the Word document hyperlink as Read Only?

Thanks!

Make the word document read-only, and/or password protect it within Word,

Or change the field to a text field, and then write code to launch Word
and open the document using Word's Documents.Open method and its
ReadOnly argument.
