Hi,

I have a textbox in an application that holds a file for specified record.
This file type could be .pdf, .doc, .dwg ... Is there generic code to

open

the file based on the registered program for the file type?

Thanks

Yes.

You can simply use Shell(), or you can use ShellExecuteEx(), which mimics
launching an app from Explorer and provides opportunities for more
attributes.

'To open Word with file - Shell( "MyWord.doc")

.
