Open Excel spreadsheet in Access

[carlyd]

I have an excel spreadsheet that pulls tables from Access. Is there a way to create a button in an Access form to open the spreadsheet? I don't need it to import, etc because it already does that. I just want a user to be able to open the spreadsheet to view the data with a click of a button.

Maybe the examples here will help. There is code on how to open Excel:
