hi,

ive created a form with an overview of each employee, one of the fields is a
hyperlink which displays the relevant job specification. when i click on the
hyperlink, Word is started and the job spec appears (as it should). once i
have finished reading the job spec i have to close word and reactive my dbase
from its minimized position on the task bar.

i would like to be able to get my hyperlinked document to appear in a access
form is this possible?

You can embed the Word documents in an Access OLE field, but that will be a
major cause of bloat and possible corruption. I suggest just using a button
to start Word to the correct document path as stored in a text field (which
can be hidden). Then you can avoid the hyperlink and control how the Word
app starts. Have a look at the ShellExecute() function on the Access Web.
