Opening a specific Word doc

message from Chris on 5 May 2004
I know this has probably been asked loads but I can't find any useful threads in a Google groups search.

What would the code be to open a specific Word document, from a command button on a form. The document is
situated in the same directory as my database.

Dim objWord As Object

' Open Microsoft Word using automation
Set objWord = New Word.Application

objWord.Documents.Open "c:\MyDoc.Doc"
objWord.Visible = True

Also, you will need to set a reference to the Microsoft Word <version>
Object Library.

Thanks Cheryl,

Stupid quest but where is the Object Library in Access 2003, can't seem to find it.

Thanks

Open any code module by using Alt-F11. Then from the VB menu, click
Tools|References. This will open a small window which will show you a list
of all of the references you have incorporated into your Access application
(the ones with the checkmarks). Now scroll through the list of unchecked
references until you find "Microsoft Word xx.x Object Library", where xx.x
is the version of Word that you have installed on your computer. Put a
checkmark in the box to the left of that reference and you are "good to go".
