G Guest Dec 20, 2004 #1 Is there a way to list some Word documents in a pull down menu and initiate them from Access?
D Douglas J. Steele Dec 20, 2004 #3 You can use the code in http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm at "The Access Web" to list the Word documents. Once you know the name of the document you want to open, you can use the code in http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0018.htm to launch it.
