can you make a button that will open a file folder?

I want to make a button that will open a specific file folder that contains some crystal reports. I don't want to pick a report ...just want to "lead the user to the folder" with just a click...

can this be done?

Try something like this :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub cmdExplorer_Click()
  2.     Dim strCmd As String
  3.  
  4.     strCmd = "explorer.exe C:\BellSvr02"
  5.     Call Shell(PathName:=strCmd, WindowStyle:=vbNormalFocus)
  6. End Sub
You need to change the folder to the one you require obviously.
