[2005] open word document on click event
i need to open a word document from a button click event. I have tried several things suggested in these forums and none seem to be working.
I need to be able to open the document "BCCheckSettings2003.doc" from a subdirectory of my documents called "Bookmarks Galore!" .
Since each user will have a different path to my documents I am thinking I need to get that path first. Here is the code I am using (Thank you RobDogg88, I found the code in your word FAQ's)
Code:
Private Sub btnWord03_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnWord03.Click
Dim oProcess As New System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim mydocs As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal)
'Dim strFileName As String
MsgBox(mydocs)
mydocs = mydocs & "\" & "Bookmarks Galore" & "\"
MsgBox(mydocs)
'strFileName = mydocs & "BCCheckSettings2003.doc"
'MsgBox(strFileName)
With oProcess.StartInfo
.CreateNoWindow = True
.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
.Verb = "open"
.UseShellExecute = True
.FileName = mydocs & "BCCheckSettings2003.doc"
End With
oProcess.Start()
End Sub
it is breaking at the oprocess.start() and telling me it can't find the file.
Please help! Proejct is overdue.
