Retrieving field value from current record -> syntax error

[achroiet002]

Hi,

Please, can someone help me? My problem:
I have put a command button onto a form, which retrieves two field values from the current record. With these two values, I am able to open a document from Access.
Default value of field "documentname" is "x"
Running the code, I get a syntax error
The code:

Private Sub Knop46_Click()
 
Dim path As String
Dim name As String
path = "c:\Documents and Settings\Test\My Documents\Docs\"
name = Trim(Me!documentname)
If name="x" <------ here I get a syntax error!
Then
MsgBox "No filename present (x = no name exists)"
Else
Application.FollowHyperlink [path] & [name]
End If
End Sub

Please use code tags.

Both path and name are reserved keywords in Access/VBA. You should rename your variables.

also, dont know if you moved it for the example but the Then statement should be on the same line as the if and the condition

That's probably it, good catch.
