How to open a Word Document using vb.net command buttons

[China Gary]

Do you need a component to open a word document in a new window? How easy is it to do? I have a list of radio buttons, and when i select one and hit the button, i want the document to appear in a new window. Any help would be great, thanks!

Try System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\MyWordDoc.doc").

The answer you have gotton before is good but if you wanted to select a file and open that selected file..you could use this one also.. drag and drop a openfiledialog control to your form... and use the following code.. If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(OpenFileDialog1.FileName) End If using this method... opens any file that is selected in their own program...and also a new window..
