Hey experts,

has anyone ever used vc++ to command windows to open a word document?
If so could you advise me on how to do this... if its really complicated it doesnt matter.

Cheers!

Scott

A lot depends on just what you want to do once you've opened the window... The Quick and Dirty way to simply open a .DOC file via Word is to simply launch the document.

Depending on which compiler you're using and what environment you're targeting, you've got lots of choices.
