open word from access 2007 using a macro
Diana,
I gather you mean you have a macro in your Access 2007 database, using the RunApp action, but when the button is clicked , nothing at all happens (is that what you mean by "does not work"?) Can you please post back with the exact entry in the Command Line argument of the RunApp action in your macro? -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP DianaH wrote: On a form, I had a button to open a word document in access 2003.

Diana,
Please try with ""s around the 2 sections of the Command Line, i.e. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe" "H:\CDP\test.doc" -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP DianaH wrote: Here is my statement for the Runapp: c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe H:\CDP\test.doc

This did not work. The macro still opens a blank word document.
