My question is... Is there a way to place a link to a .pdf file into Access where if you click it from a database it will pull up the file? I don't think there is but it's worth the time to ask. Thanks.

Nevermind... I answered my own question via trial and error. Apparantly you can. It's not pretty but it works... lol -

Within the tables you can insert a hyperlink column and from there just edit the hyperlinks to the file you want to pull up. I copied and pasted the names of the files into the hyperlink column and that was it. Pretty simple but if you have quite a few links to update, it may take a while. I actually decided to bypass the entire ordeal and did it in Excel.Comment

There are several ways to do it, depending on how much time you want to spend, and how elegant you want it.
You can make a button which opens a filebrowser and then simply browse to the file(s), select them, and have the code store the info in the hyperlink field. You can also make code/form that mimics a file-browser but with more customised properties and abilities depending on your needs.Comment
