That is what I ended up doing.

It seems like such an odd thing to not be able to do however.

Can't do that with buttons unless you use qRules command to open link in separate browser.

The easy solution for you is to just use a static link in the view. Click on Insert and add a link. This link properties can be configured to have descriptive text and a separate hyperlink.

Open A Document From A Button - InfoPath 2007

This seemed to me like it would be a very easy task as I've had no issue having a command button execute a hyperlink in any other development platform I've ever used. But, I will be dipped if I can figure out how to do it with an InfoPath button.

I have a document in a SharePoint document library that is user instructions on how to use an application I've developed in InfoPath. I want to put a button on my InfoPath main menu form, title it "Help" and have it open the instructions document in my SharePoint library when the button is clicked.

I can add the link to my user instructions in a hyperlink control, but I'd rather do it with a button.

I just know I have to be missing something pathetically easy....what is it?
