Ben,

As this is an Excel VB group - suggest you go to the groups associated with
Word and PowerPoint.

Hi all

I am looking for a little help, what I would like to do is
open files from within another application namely MS Word,
i.e. when the user presses the button a Word document will
be opened and activated, I also need for the file to open
as read only.

I also need to do the same for a PowerPoint file.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
Ben
