I'm confused (not unusual). What do you mean by "add a key"? Do you want to put a link to a Word document in your application?

Duane,
I created a user manual that I would like to have on a tab on the menu bar.
Right now the menu bar has

File, Home, create, external data ...

I'd like to add "User Manual" and when they click that tab, have the ability to open the word document.

I looked at the Quick Access Toolbar but don't see an option to include a link to a document. My intent is to have the document stored in the same folder as the database so it is accessible for updates. Any help/suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks lhuffst

"have the ability to open the word document"

I use this Sub to open any document with its default application:

CODE

Public Sub OpenDocument(ByRef strDocPath As String)
Dim G As Long
G = Shell("RUNDLL32.EXE URL.DLL,FileProtocolHandler " & strDocPath, vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
