Does anyone out there have a way to take the data existing in a field and use
it as a file name to be open by an application. example ( a file location
of a cad file and have Autocad open that file listed as the data in the field)

This is a reply I got on a similar request:

you.

The DocMgr database helped me build an application which built a list of all
of a certain kind of file (in my case technical drawings) and by
highlighting the file name this enabled a hyperlink which opened the file in
the appropriate application. This saved up a ton of time instead of having
to browse to each file as needed.

Hope it helps you too.
