A quick and easy way would be to set the 'hyperlink address' property
for your button. When you set this property, you browse to the
location of your document. Now, anytime you click that button, it
will automatically open that document.

Hi all, I created a button in an Access form that opens MS Word. Now I want this button also to open a specific file. How do I code this? Would it also be possible to let the user select the type of template from a list? It would be perfect if this list does not show the actual template files, but a short desribtion of the type of file i.e.'report', 'proposal' etc.
