Default Command Button- Open Word Doc

Hi, I'm pretty good at VBA, but I'm experiencing something new. I'm designing
an Outlook form on our Terminal Server. I was getting ready to insert some
code for a command button, similar to the thread "XLsheet Button Control to
Lauch form the Public Drive" in this forum. I'll be openinging a Word Doc
instead, but when I went to view the code, I got "Microsoft Script Editor, "
instead of the vba code interface. How does this work? Does it use the same
basic format? I also am worried that the Outlook "Use Word as the email
editor" option might give me problems, since Word will be open already. Here
is the rough draft of the code I was thinking of using. Any help would be
appreciated!

Private Sub cmdHandbook_Click
Dim WApp as Word.Application
Dim stFilename, stPath as String
stPth = "P:\Public Documents\Staff\New Hire\"
stFilename = "Employee Handbook.doc"
Set WApp = New Word.Application
With WApp
.Documents.Open(FileName: stpath & stFilename, ReadOnly:=True)
.Visible=true
End With
End Sub
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. When I "run this form" I get a popup
"Expected End of Statement: Line No. 2", and yes of course I used the real
path and real doc name
Office 2003, btw.
Thanks in advance!
