hyperlink for each record

J

Hello. This is probably a long shot but here goes.
Is it possible to have a field in a form that would have a hyperlink to a
Word document relating only to that particular record.?
But it would be something the user would do when entering data so would have
to be straight forward.
Thank you
Jen

Not a "long shot" by a long shot -- "piece of cake" or "duck soup" would be
better descriptions.

There are multiple ways to "link" another file -- a hyperlink field would be
one of them. Another would be to simply store the fully-qualified
path-and-file-name as text and use it as the argument for a .FollowHyperlink
(in re which, see Help).

Assuming you are, as I would expect, delivering a developed applicatin to
the user, the code at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm allows you
to use the Windows Common Dialog. There's an example of handling that API
in the imaging examples at http://accdevel.tripod.com if it seems unobvious
(I am not responsible for the ads or popups or ??? in that tripod site --
it's the price they extract for providing the free site, running ads of
their choosing).
