Can anyone explain how to setup a command button to open a word file for mail merge operation? I can use the command button wizzard to connect to word but what command line do you use to open a specific word document? I can't get anything to work. I have no idea how to program in VB

Thanks for any help

I have not used the command button wizards in Access.

However, if you are setting parameters for the button to start word, what happens if you set the parameter to the document name itself?

It comes up with all kinds of error messages, like file not found, verify path and file name. I know all of these are correct, when I enter them, so I'm not sure where the glitch is. I tried to mess around with VB and enter the document name and the likes there but no luck there also.

anyone else?

thanks for the help
