File Browser for Access 2010

1 New Member
Greetings All:

I built a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and used Microsoft Access 2010 as the front end. The database is used to keep track of "issues" that rise out of my employment. I've been there a long time and now feel the need to start documenting certain occurances. I have 4 tables, one of which is a table called fileattachments. I'm storing the path to the files in this table and the actual files are stored in a directory called FileStorage. I've seen it done many times but I have no idea how to do it, I want a button that puts the files in the FileStorgae folder for me, and a button to open/download the files from the filestorage location. These files need to be located on the server so many users have access to them. I am not at all familiar with VB, Active X Controls, Web, ASP or any of that stuff so if someone could offer step by step instructions I would be forever in your debt. If you need further informatio ask away, I think I'm giving you all necessary info but I'm not sure if I'm leaving anything out. Thanks so much.

This is more of a front-end question than a sql server question...

Good Luck!!!
