Well, which is it? A web page or Word? What do you want to do after you open the app? LabVIEW comes with a VI called 'Open URL in Current Browser (vi.lib\platform\browser.llb) and you can use System Exec to start MS Word. If you need something more advanced, you can use ActiveX. There have been numerous examples of using IE and Word posted to this board. Have you tried doing a search yourself?
Why so urgent? Are you in the middle of a test?

Hi,
Dennis is right, if do not tell us that you really want to do, it's a bit complicated to help you.
You can type in the command line of the System exec vi the name of the executable and
eventually its path to launch it (as Dennis said).
Please, let us know more information if you want some help.
Regards,
Flo
