Hi all.
I stuck here and need some help. I have created a combo box which contains a list of links to external PDF files. I also created a OPEN command button next to the combo box. I want to be able to select a file from the list and use the command button to open this external PDF file.
I already know how to use just a command button to open an external file. However, it is very time consuming to use command buttons when you have alot of external file to open.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get this done?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there, iamdennis!
I wonder if the VBA code written by Access to grab word docs can help you load PDF docs.
Add a command button to a form, with your wizard turned on and find the Open word, or something of that nature, anything that'll load word docs... See if you can load a PDF using that code.
To tell you the truth I have no idea of the outcome, I just don't see why not.
Make a copy of the PDF:-)
Also, let us know how it turns out...

Hi,
I need to open an external file, such as *.htm from a Java program. I
need to open this file by the default program that handles this
extension on the machine. So *.htm should always be opened by Netscape
if that is the default browser on the machine.
I figured out how to do this on NT but could not find an equivalent
command on Linux.
Here is what I did on NT.

Hi Everyone-
I have a question about how to add and then use the "All" selection in
a combo box. I am trying to figure out how to:
(1) add "All" as a selection to a combo box and then
(2) how to use the selection "All" as criteria for a field in a
query, which is used to generate data for a report.

With the help and hints from this group I've collected a code that
allows me to print a file (pdf/doc/xls ...) nby clicking a button in a
form.
This works fine if I introduce the file name in the procedure, but what
I need is that the file name dependes on the choice of a combo box, in
the same form. That combo box is called ArticleCode.
Does anyone has any suggestion ?

This seems simple enough, but I am having problems.
I have a table of customer information. I have a form with various combo boxes displaying unique customer information (in this case, zone and broker, but I'll add others before it is done.
I want each user to choose what they want out of the combo boxes, then hit the command button, which will display the results on a customized form. If they choose both combo boxes, it works gerat.
