Urgent Help! Open Hyperlink in Word Viewer!

Guest

I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with Word Viewer, but I am currently
opening a hyperlink attached to a record. Would anyone know how to open a
document from access using this program (Word Viewer)!
Your help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Is this for use on computers that have Word Viewer but not Word, or do
you want to launch Word Viewer even though Word is available?

If the former, Windows should associate the .DOC file type with Word
viewer, so clicking on the hyperlink or using VBA's
Application.FollowHyperlink will do the job. If the latter, you'll
probably have to use the VBA Shell() command to launch Word Viewer with
the document's path and name as an argument.
