Thank for your help, imhamedi!
But i want to open a text file on Microsoft Word, like user to open a normal text file. I think your way can only input/output data text file, not open on MW. May be, we need connection...
I'm looking forward to your reply!

You said you wanted to open a text file, *.doc is normally a Word Document File. What you want to do is 'open MS Word with a particular file', not just open a text file.

Sarch this forum for 'word' or 'MS word' somebody has given a nice solution using 'ora_ffi'.

David!
You don't understand my mind. "Sarch this forum for 'word' or 'MS word' somebody has given a nice solution using 'ora_ffi'" ? hihihi
Nothing. If you use I/O file, you will only input and output data of file, OK? If you use Output file, Oracle will read data and assign some variable, OK? I don't need it. I want to call a text file *.doc on MS Word by code Oracle form 6i. Oracle will Conection to MS Word and open file.
However, thank you David!

Hi

I think you are looking for this code this will open ms word session.

 DECLARE
 	AppID  PLS_INTEGER;
 BEGIN
AppID := DDE.App_Begin('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE C:\phoneno.txt',DDE.App_Mode_maximized);
 END;

Check DDE pkg For more details
