>I'm maintaining a FPW2.6 app and need to incorporate Word documents into it. I have a table in which I would like to add a field (General?) to store a reference to a Word document (not the actual document itself; I want changes made to the document through Word to be reflected in the app). I would like to add a push button on a screen to launch Word with the currrent record's document reference opened.

try append general
or
edit ->insert object ->microsoft word

for running word call word with run command with the file name, if that is how you do then no need to use append general, just save the filename with the path in a character field.
