All I need is to put a button on the Access form to open a document in
Word2010.

I could do it in Access2003 but this new Access has no way to do it!

Please help, Peter

Look in the Click event of the Access 2003 Command Button you describe. My
guess is that you'll find VBA code, or that you wrote VBA code, to open the
Word document; or that you or someone included macros to do so. That code
is pretty close to what you'll put behind the button in a later version of
Access... if from Access 2003 you were opening Word 2003 on a particular
document, you may need some minor changes to open Word 2010 on a particular
document. I'm not aware of a specific OpenWordOnThisDocument button
built-in to Access.
