What is a simple way to start Word or activate an instance of Word from within Foxpro with a specified existing word document?

The situation:

From a VFP 7.0 form that has access to a table of Word document files (full path and filename) I would like to be able to start or activate WINWORD XP with the document in question and activate the word task.

The idea is that the user can work in the document, then close it, then task switch back to the database that helped him open the document.

The documents Fullpath info resides in a memofield in a table.

I don't want to use word automation in the sense of having the document right on the form like in the solutions.app example.

Thanks for your help.
