Re: How do I click a button to pull up a single file within a form

Yeah, clear as mud <g>.

What are these files: plain text, or something else?

I'm not sure how feasible it's going to be to "print that file only omitting
2 fields" from within Access.

As to exporting the file to Word, you'll probably be best off writing a
module that Automates Word, and import it into Word through that module.

I have created forms for entering client info, employee info and work order
info. In the work oder info there will be many files.

I'd like to create a page where the user can type in a file number from
the
work order and print that file only omitting 2 fields

Is that as clear as mud??

and can I export that file to Microsoft word?

Thanks

Not quite sure what you mean by accessing a file from another form. Are
you
talking about a physical file that's outside of your database, or do you
mean a data row that's displayed on the other form (which means that it's
in
a table in your database)?

If the former, you can invoke the standard Windows File Open dialog using
the code from http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm at "The Access
Web".

If the latter, you'll need to give a better explanation of what you're
trying to do.
