I'm trying to use a command button to open a windows folder related to the
current record. The record has a Location field that contains the name of
the windows folder, in the current directory that needs to be opened. The
code for the command button is...
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("explorer CurrentProject. Path & " \ " & Me.Location",
vbNormalFocus)
When the button is pressed, I get an error - Type Mismatch
I am using the following code to view a picture of the relevent file in an
image box in the record:
Me.imgEmployee. Picture = CurrentProject. Path & "\" & Me.Location & "\" &
Me.Headshot
This code works fine. Also, if I hard code a file location into the first
line of code, it also work fine:
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("explorer c:\employees\", vbNormalFocus)
This will open up the employees folder on the c: drive

That's still slightly off. Should be:
Dim q As String
q = Chr(34)
RetVal = Shell("explorer " & q & CurrentProject. Path & " \ " & Me.Location &
q, vbNormalFocus) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hey all. Got a weird problem here.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
