Hyperlink

[apgoodb]

Is there a way to set a Hyperlink or build code to open a file using a
certain application? This isn't what I want to do, but is similar and
maybe easier to understand.
Example:
There is a text file c:\files\test.txt that I want Word or Excel to
open up. Can I specify the application and the applications location
to open a file in?

Thanks,

Thanks. However, I want to program which application the file opens in
so the user doesn't need to worry about this piece. Is there a way to
specify in code to open a file in a certain application?
