How can I open a Word document from my VB application?

[Codruta]

I know that exists another topic on this subject and I've read it but for me doesn't work

Dim wrdApp As New Word.Application
        wrdApp.Documents.Open("E:\My Documents\exemplu\exemplu.doc")
        wrdApp.Visible = True

My error is that word.applicatio n is not defined.

Can someone help me? I'm using VB2010

Thanks,
Codruta

You can in VB6 open a program by using the "Shell" command and give the path of the program like this:

Dim Retval
Retval = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE C:\temp\NewDocument.doc", vbMaximizedFocus)

Hi, are you maybe missing a reference to a Word Interop?

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
