open an excel file

I'm trying to have a button open an excel file in an Access database based
on the record that the focus is on. Does this require special code or is
there a macro that does this? If there is no macro what function do I use
to code this?

thanks
Patrick

More info please... how are you specifying what file to open? If it's
a path to a file, then you can use Application.FollowHyperlink or open
the file using the Excel object model.
