On an Access form I hve a field defined as hyperlink that points to a file.
If the file is local, it works fine and when you click on it the file opens.
However, if the file is located on a remote server, e.g.
\\kbm-w2k3-srv\SupportFiles\document5.doc, you get error message "Cannot open
the specified file". If I map a network drive to
"\\kbm-w2k3-srv\SupportFiles" that needs Username/password to connect to
kbm-w2k3-srv, then the hyperlink works fine. How can I provide the required
information in Access to make the hyperlink work without a need to map a
drive?
