Opening an external (Word) file from a button.

[Vandelay]

Hi,

I have a container field where I will place a Word File. How do I set up a button to open it? I thought I could double click on it, but no dice. I then tried to create a button and chose 'open file', but when I hit the button it goes to try to open a file on my computer. I just want it to open the file in the field container.

Thanks,
Vandy

i think you have to write a script like:

Go to field[container_with_wordfile]

with Select/Perform Option Checked.

haven't tried it with word files, but flash and quicktime work this way.
