I am in vb6 (win2000/office2000) and made sure the access library was checked off; can anyone tell me why this simple opening of another office file does not work?

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim gsHtm As Object
Set gsHtm = GetObject("C:\csdb.mdb")
gsHtm.Visible = True
End Sub

I have tried a gazillion things to open this mdb file and I really am doing that out of frustration because I am trying to do an htm file! I have tried everything from getobject to create object to activate app when all I want is to open an htm document in the same folder!!! Thank you for any help!

Desperate!
