MS Access open link/file from

[ykhamitkar]

Hi There,

I want to add a file management system in my application

I have a form with a textbox(datatyp e hyperlink) and a button
1. User clicks on button
2. one file dialog apears
3. User selects file
4. clicks on ok
5. Path of the file comes in the textbox

Now I want to put another button, if user clicks on it the file from the path should open up.

Is there any way to do this.

Thanks,
Yogesh

I may not be understanding what you are trying to achieve, but if your text field is set to hyperlink type, then you should just be able to click on the hyperlink path this is in the text box, and it would take you to that path (URL or server path) without an additional button.

Yogesh, I want to do exactly what you already did. Can you please describe how did you create button to browse a file and insert link into field as hyperlink?

Thanks,
