Hi!

Can I have a control in forms that allows me to launch another document,
such as Word or another form?

For example, I am trying to design a simple sales form for my colleagues.
When the sales people enter in the data of the prospective customer (in the
form I have designed for them), they also want to activate with the click of
a button in the form, or in the toolbar, a 'Customer Proposal' document that
is in Word format.

How can I do that?

Many thanks for your expert advice!

CQ
