Adding a Link to a word document

Hi...

I am a complete newbie to outlook forms and I've just started playing around
with them and I'm stuck...

I have created a form for new equipment, which part way through asks if
training is required... (set up a training course Yes/No)
I would like to have a link to Training request form - which is currently a
word doc on a different network drive...

Not 100% sure how this is going to work, as after trawling through the
messages here, it would appear I need to have the a message box (body of the
email) within the form. When I tried this I couldn't get the hyperlink to
work... e.g. didn't get the blue line underneath...

Can I get a command button to do the same thing?

I am using Outlook 2003.

Anybody able to point me in the right direction please...
 
I have found some code which might just do the trick...

Sub Label1_Click()
Set objWeb = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objWeb.Navigate Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages _
("P.2").Controls("Label1").Caption
objWeb.Visible = True
End Sub

Please can someone show me how to modify it...

Thanks
 
If you want to use that technique, simply put the file:// URL for the document you want to open as the caption for the label.

document on our server but adding the URL to the caption of the button does
not seem to work. Help!

Please explain in detail what "doesn't work" means. We don't know how you've published the form, whether other code on the form works, etc.
