open or viewing document

[Guest]

I have a form that has a button on it that allows the user to open the common
dialog box to select a file. Once the file is selected it is placed into a
textbox (txtFilePath) showing the actual path and file name. The users would
now like to be able to open the document for viewing by using another button.
The users would be using Word docs. I am puzzled (more like lost) on how to
get the doc to open for viewing and seek help from the newsgroup. So, if
anyone has how it is done, please let me know.
Thanks.

Never mind. I got it figured out. Thanks.

For anyone interested in this question and looking for an answer, there are
different ways to do this.

1- use the follow.hyperlink method

2- use the code found at http://www.pacificdb.com.au/MVP/Code/ExeFile.htm
It permits opening and/or printing of a document.
