paste the NativeApp code (bottom) into a module.
This will open any document in its native application. ###.docx will open in word, ##.xlsx will open in excel

for web google usage:

vSite = "https://www.google.com/search?q=" & txtBox
OpenNativeApp vSite

-----paste this into a module

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Hi and thank you for the solution!
I need some help how to do this , I paste the NativeApp code into a module then how do I use the code on a specific column in sheet with many populated columns ?

 

[doriannjeshi]

In other words I don't know or understand very well how am I supposed to make this work:
vSite = "Google" & txtBox
OpenNativeApp vSite

also when I place the whole code above in a macro my other macros dont work

 

[doriannjeshi]

Any suggestion about this ?

summer
fall
winter
