I have been able to add a button to launch Word, but I get an error when I try to specify a document to open.
Please tell me how to do this.
Thanx,
Randy

Thanx much,
That did it. I had it all right except for the single quotes around everything inside the (). Didn't know about those. Is that type of thing documented anywhere?
BTW, I can't get the help files to work. Every time I try to open them I get the following error:
"Navigation To The Web Page Was Cancelled".
Any idea why?
Also, the following works if you put the Word doc in the AkelPad directory:
# User's Manual
"User's Manual" Exec(`rundll32.exe shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL "%a\AkelPad4-User'sManual.docx"`) Icon("Word.ico")
Thanx,
Randy
