[AccessD] opening a specific file via double click...

Andy It works,
but is it posible for access to remember the specific folder
in which the files are stored ?
say that cause the folder is always the same (e.g \test) and may be its not 
necessary
to keep that path in every record. Just only the file name
thank's
