Might it be complaining that it can't find word.exe? Try fully qualifying it
with the complete path.
 
I cannot open a word document when I click a command
button on the form. It will give me a message of "File not
found" even though I created the command button using the
wizard. The path I use to create the command button is as
follows:
- I add the command button on the form
- Wizard pops up, then I select Applications on the
categories
- I choose Run Application under actions
- Next
- I type Word.exe c:\test.doc
- Next
- I choose text and type "Open Test" on the text box
- Next then Finish

When I run the application and click on the Open Test
on the command button it gives me a message file not
found, even though the "test.doc" document is stored on C:
drive. Does anyone know the answer to this ? Please
help... Thanks is advance
 
The main executable for Microsoft Word is not named 'word.exe', it is
'winword.exe'.
