Since it's a Word file, you can use Word automation, along these lines:

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
strPath = "G:\Information System\Electronic Communications Policy.doc"
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(strPath)
objDoc.Activate
End Sub

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.
