command button to print a linked WORD document

[dougxyz]

I am using Access 2000 sr1
I need to make a command button that will print a linked Word document that is stored in an OLE type field. The document is linked and not embedded. Any help on this subject would be most appreciated

Regards
Doug

This may not be the answer you are looking for but an a quick and dirty solution is to use a hyperlink and the follow method something like:

with HyperlinkControl
.visible=false
.hyperlinkAddress="D:\MyWord.doc"
.followHyperlink .hyperlinkAddress
end with

I've never used this code but it should at least give you a start and the code is alot easier then automation.

Hope this helps,
