Open a Drawing File From Excel VB

[amm43q]

Hi All.
Is it possible to open a file from a cell with a known folder location like E:\drawing\ ?
The text in that cell is the drawing name. The default file extension is (.dcd)
Being able to just change the text in the cell, like(1020-03-d) would open the drawing
(1020-03-d.dcd)
I Have Done This using Hyperlinks but doesn’t work the best.
Any help with this would be most grateful.
And thanks in advance.
