Re: opening word Doc from VB application

Dear Mashkoor,

Altough you could be using rich object model of word (office) 9 or 10, you might as well pass the path simply by enclosing it in double quotes and putting it after winword.exe (passing it as a command line argument). But since VB already uses double quotes so:

shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" & chr(34) & "c:\mydoc.doc" & chr(34)

Cheers
Ali
