You cannot directly open a file or cause a program to start by using
VBScript. You need to call something that implements this functionality
(such as the Win32 API Shell function), either in an Outlook macro or Add-In
or a custom DLL.

I have created a custom form, but would like to set a command button to open
a Word file located in a network folder. The path to the Word file is
G:\Information System\Electronic Communications Policy. I know I need to
start with Sub CommandButton1_Click(), but then do not know what else to
enter. Can anyone help? Thanks.
