Hi ?B?RGFu?=,

Can I run this method using MS Access VBA or will I
still run into the same problem? I have made a couple initial attempts with
no success. My initial code is as follows:

Set oDoc = GetObject(Forms![frmDocsMain]![Sub]![FilePath], "Word.Document")
oDoc.Application.Visible = True
oDoc.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize

If its possible, from here I'm not exactly sure how to proceed with the
OpenDataSource code.

Best is to record linking to the data source in a Word macro, then copy the
result into your automation code and make any necessary adjustments (such as
replacing the hard-coded file path with a variable).
