How do I create a hyperlink button on a form?

[Thirdworld]

I'm trying to create a hyperlink button on a form that does the following:

1. User clicks on button
2. The default 'insert hyperlink' window appears
3. User selects the desired file
4. User clicks ok
5. Path of the file comes in the textbox

A button is needed for each textbox that requires a hyperlink. Is this possible? (Note: I'm a beginner with no programming experience and this is my first database.)

I found this code to work great for what I needed. First you need to create a button then point it to this code.

Private Sub browse_Click()

Me.[Hyperlink].SetFocus
On Error GoTo browse_stop
RunCommand acCmdInsertHype rlink
browse_stop:

End Sub

This works exactly how you explained you needed.

I tried the code and got this error:

Run-time error '2465':

System can't find the field 'I' referred to in your expression.

How can I fix this?

I'm sorry, in the code:

Private Sub browse_Click()

Me.[your_location].SetFocus
On Error GoTo browse_stop
RunCommand acCmdInsertHype rlink
browse_stop:

End Sub

In your_location, put where you want the link to show up at. My location was called "Hyperlink" .
