In your table, create a field of type Hyperlink.

In your form, you can insert the link through the Insert menu.
Then clicking on the link opens the document in the registered program.

If you want a command button to insert the hyperlink put this code into its
event procedure:
Me.[NameOfYourHyperlinkFieldHere].SetFocus
RunCommand acCmdInsertHyperlink

Or, if you can't set the focus to that control:

Application.FollowHyperlink Me!txtWhateverYourDocFieldNameIs
