Use the Shell or ShellExecute functions.

Shell example:
Shell("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe C:\documents\Readme.doc&quot


An article and code for ShellExecute can be found at

You can use the same technique with a diffeerent path for the file. You should be able to use the UNC (\\server\path\file.doc). The user logon will need permissions to read the file. Terry L. Broadbent
