I have an Access form that opens a Word merge document with the following command:

Call Shell("winword.exe" & " " & strFileName, 1)

The command is in the onClick event of a button.

This works on all of our Win 7 machines, but when run from a Win 10 machine, I get Run-time error '53' File not found. Any thoughts?
