FWIW, I'd just execute the document and let the windows shell open it in whatever viewer the user has specified for .DOC files:
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell"
sDoc= chr(34) & "C:\path\to\your.doc" & chr(34)
oShell.Run sDoc,1,False
If you want to force it to be opened in Word, try:
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell"
sDoc= chr(34) & "C:\path\to\your.doc" & chr(34)
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application"
sPath = chr(34) & oWord.Path & "\winword.exe" & chr(34)
oWord.Quit
Set oWord = Nothing
oShell.Run sPath & sDoc,1,False Jon Hawkins
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell"
sDoc= chr(34) & "C:\path\to\your.doc" & chr(34)
oShell.Run sDoc,1,False
