    ok folks, I'm new to VBA and well I've never really used access at all, untill now.
    In my application I want a combo box that has three different options to select from. The first one is a word document and the other 2 are pdfs. when you click on them they should open up.

    Is there a way to have a hyperlinked combo box to do this?



    As i said im new to this so my apologies if its a stupid ass question.

    I don't program in vba but 20 minutes of messing around and i came up with something like this..
    Private Sub Command1_Click() (or Private Sub Combo0_Change() - not sure what you mean)
If Form_Form1.Combo0.Value = "App1" Then
 Set oApp = CreateObject(Class:="Word.Application")
       oApp.Visible = True

        'Open the Document
    oApp.Documents.Open filename:="D:\doc1.doc"

ElseIf Form_Form1.Combo0.Value = "App2" Then
.
