MS Access Forum / Forms / May 2008open word from access 2007 using a macro
On a form, I had a button to open a word document in access 2003. The macro attached to the button ran RUNAPP I changed the folder to office12 from office11 - but it still does not work. Help! Diana, I gather you mean you have a macro in your Access 2007 database, using the RunApp action, but when the button is clicked , nothing at all happens (is that what you mean by "does not work"?) Can you please post back with the exact entry in the Command Line argument of the RunApp action in your macro?
