[mso] ACCESS 2002: Open Embedded Word Document From Combo OR List Box

In an Access form, I can open a specific word file as new instance via
below but want to transpose code to open an embedded document selected from
a combo or list box. The table populating the combo box contains the
embedded forms that need to open in new instance when user selects the
title. These databases will be sent to remote sites where the system set
ups/file directory structures, etc., are different and forms need to be
accessible to all at these sites, even in cases they do not use a shared
server. Thus the few forms they will use are embedded right in the access
form. If I open straight from an embedded object, any automation such as
fill-in pop ups in the word document are not activated, so it must open as
a new instance for everything to work right. But haven't been successful
at transposing this to work on a combo box and go to the embedded document
instead of a windows directory. Any ideas? Thanks, Cathy
