Re: OnClick Help

Paul D,

Thank you so much for your reply. I entered the code as you have it,
substituting yourfield.value for ItemNumber.value and received the following
error:

An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line 181
Char: 1
Error: permission denied
Code: 0

When I go to line 181, it is this line "objShell.ShellExecute myFile, "",
"", "open", 1"

Do you know what the problem could be?

I have worked on trying to set up a command button or at least an
alternative for quite some time and believe this is the only thing holding up
posting dap for other users. Your time and help are greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,
Pam

Create your command button, lets assume its name is btnPDF
then in the script editor you should have something like this for the
onclick event
<script language=vbscript for=btnPDF event=onclick
<!--
dim objShell
dim myFile
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
myFile = yourfield.value 'yourfield value must be a full path and valid
filename
objShell.ShellExecute myFile, "", "", "open", 1
set objShell = Nothing
-->
</script>
