Launch Word

[JustinJJ]

Hey everyone,
I need a little bit of code help. When the user clicks on a command button, I want windows to launch a new word document. Any help?

Thanks in advance
Justin

Dim oWord As New Word.Application

Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.Activate

Thanks for the reply....Do I put that command in the button, or form load, or form activate. Thanks
Justin

Yes, put that into a CommandButton.

Sorry to be such a pain and I am trying to do this on my own, but I keep getting a user defined type error when I run the code.
Thanks again
Justin

Private Sub CmdItem_Click()
Dim oWord As New Word.Application

Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.Activate


End Sub

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need to reference the Word 8.0 Object Library.

Menu Path: Project > References

Then find the Microsoft Word 8.0 Library and check the box next to it. Press the "OK" button.

Enjoy.
