Track changes to Word documents 1

[starbai007]

I want to use Microsoft Access to be able to link to and open various MS Word files. Once the user opens the file, makes his or her changes, a screen should come up within Access that should prompt them to enter any changes that they have made into a comments box. Of course it would be ideal to track the changes they make to the word file automatically, but of course I'm not that advanced yet...that is unless someone has an easy solution.

Word has built in functions for tracking changes. There is code here on managing it through VBA:
