Declaration
function OpenDocument (varDocument As Variant) As Integer
Parameters

The full path to the document to be opened.
Description
The OpenDocument method attempts to open the document at the specified path using the file’s associated file type. For example, pointing to a file with a .txt extension will open the document using Notepad, and opening a website address will use Internet Explorer (on systems where IE is the default browser).
If the function fails, check to ensure the file you are pointing to has an associated file type.
