I posted this in the Access section but have not had much luck.

I would like from a form in Access to launch a new Doc in Word. After the
doc has been saved I would like to pass the path and filename to the Access
field from where it was launched. I am hoping to use a Hyperlink or the new
Attachment data type to store this info.

Thank you in advance.

Have Access assign the filename and save the document.
