How can you add a key [kbd]User Manual (word document )[/kbd] to an access 2016 database

Thanks

I'm confused (not unusual). What do you mean by "add a key"? Do you want to put a link to a Word document in your application?

Duane,
I created a user manual that I would like to have on a tab on the menu bar.
Right now the menu bar has [pre]File, Home, create, external data ...[/pre]

I'd like to add "User Manual" and when they click that tab, have the ability to open the word document.

I looked at the Quick Access Toolbar but don't see an option to include a link to a document. My intent is to have the document stored in the same folder as the database so it is accessible for updates. Any help/suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks lhuffst

have the ability to open the word document"

I use this Sub to open any document with its default application:

Public Sub OpenDocument(ByRef strDocPath As String)
Dim G As Long
G = Shell("RUNDLL32.EXE URL.DLL,FileProtocolHandler " & strDocPath, vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
