click on name, and open with windows explorer.
I tried using shell
(Code)
Shell "explorer.exe " & sPath & lstYellow.Value, vbNormalFocus
(/code)
sPath is a variable set earlier and is ok, but I need to get the file name out of lstYellow, and value is not a good property. I have tried selected, listindes and others, but I think I just need some help in formatting, as the code is not finding the file at all.
I had help in etting this up,
I am not even sure how the shell line is supposed to look for this.
but something like this
Shell "explorer.ext" & "c:\App\Yellow|" & "012345.bmp", vbNormalFocus
(I am thinking the spacing must be very important, and I am sure the file is there) The file name does not show quotes in the list box.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ken

The Shell() Function is used primarily to Run an executable File, but strangely enough can be used to Open other File Extensions when used in the manner in which you indicate. The code snippet below should point you in the right direction: -
Dim retVal As Variant, sPath As String
-
-
sPath = "C:\App\Yellow\"
-
-
'Where Me![lstYellow] = 012345.bmp
-
retVal = Shell("explorer.exe " & sPath & Me![lstYellow], vbNormalFocus)
