Cheers for that, Gregg, works a treat - i also like the way that Access

starts itself like an exe - may be able to exploit this at some point. 


Thanks again

Just link to them exactly like you would an HTML file.

eg:   GetURL(example.doc);


It will open up right in IE without an additional work on
