Opening Word in a specified folder

The command button wizard can be set to open Word, but it opens in the
default folder. Can anyone tell me the code for opening Word in a specified
folder?

Thanks
 
What do you mean open word in a specific folder? Do you have the
application installed more than one time on your computer?
 
Sorry I did not make myself clear. I meant that it opens Word with the
documents in the default folder displayed - in my case C:\My documents\Word
documents. I would like have a command to open Word so that say the documents
in \Access Documents are displayed to save having to move to the correct
folder each time to find the documents which are linked to the Access
database - particularly as my colleague's default folder is on a different
computer and it is a nuisance having to navigate the network each time to
find the folder which has the Access documents.
 
I hope I am wrong, but I am not sure there is a way to tell word to do
this. It doesn't do it when you open/save by hand (at least for me),
when I configure my shortcuts, or try to use osa9.exe (to open any
office doc).

How exactly are you opening word, btw?

I created a command button in Access form design, and one of the options the
Wizard gave me was 'Run Word'. However, as this does not work too well, I
think I will probably delete the command and put a shortcut to the relevant
folder on the taskbar.
