MS Access open link/file from

64 New Member
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.

I looked at all other posts and no luck as well, is it even possible with Access?

Does anyone know how to use VBA to relink tables between two MS Access databases? We have two databases, one with VBA code and the other with data tables. The tables are referenced by linked tables in the database where the code resides. If we move the database with the data tables to a new directory, the links are no longer valid. I tried to update the links by changing the Connect property and refreshing: Set td = db.TableDefs(0)...

I have inherited a bunch of dbs which are are shared among a small group in my dept. We typically use the dbs to write queries to extract data, usually dumping it into Excel. Most dbs originated in MsAccess 97 or prior and have been converted to 2003. On occassion user 1 will open a db. When user 2 opens the db it will not let user 2 modify macros and what not. I can understand this and realize we could split the db; it is not worth ...

I need to convert a 17mb access 2000 db to Oracle and house it in a Citrix farm. The issue: we have never converted an Access Db to Oracle but can probably use Oracle's Workbench to assist with this. Also - the citrix folks do not want us to keep the FE in Access as the queries and other activities consume a lot of power. The users will be in 3 different offices across the globe all accessing the 1 Oracle DB in Citrix. Does anyone have...

Hi all, While working on an Access UI to a MySQL database (which should be a reasonable, low-cost, flexible interface to the DB, better than web-based, much less costly than a full-fledged .NET app or so.... is it?), I tried measuring the bandwith consumed by the Access/MyODBC/MySQL link, which came out to be, er, quite high. I fancied it would be interesting to look at the queries Access throws at MySQL through the ODBC link, so I...

I am looking for VBA code that will work with Access 2003 to enable dragging and dropping a file/folder name from Windows XP Explorer into an Access form's text box. This is a common functionality that most Windows programs have, so I'm suprised it's not easier to implement in Access/VBA. Through Google, I found two VB6 examples and one VBA example on the Access Web written by Dev Ashish. The VB6 examples used loops to keep checking...

Here's the scenario: 2 people have the same Access 2.0 databases running in the Access 2.0 application.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
