[AccessD] Opening Other Program Files

David,

    My sample db named PrintExternalFiles might be of interest to you. It is available at Rogers Access Library (other developers library). Link - http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com

    You could adapt the underlying approach suitably, for your specific needs.

Best wishes,
A.D.Tejpal

  I have a field that has the full path to a file.  The file may be a 
  pdf or word doc.  My user would like to be able to doubleclick the field and have the correct application open with the file (eg double click on a pdf will open Acrobat with the file showing).

  Any pointers on how this can be done?
