MS Access open link/file from

Hi There,

I want to add a file management system in my application

I have a form with a textbox(datatype 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?
