Re: Double Click a List Item to Open an Associated File

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Go to this site:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm

It contains an API that presents the Common File Open Dialog. You can use
this to allow the user to navigate to the file. Once selected, it returns
the full path to the file.

Then use a hyperlink field in your table to store the path to the file.

I'm trying to find some type of already built solution or template so I
can
see the base code to help me out but can't seem to find anything. Would
appriciate any help.

I have 2 list boxes:
1. List of Documents Needed from a Customer
2. List of Documents Received from a Customer

What I want is when the user clicks on the an item from the Docs Needed
list,
I want them to have to option to "attach" a file to that list entry as it
gets marked as a document received. Then at anytime when a user clicks on
one of the items in the Documents Received List, the user can view that
document. I don't want to actually attach the file into the record itself
becuase of bloating, my DB would max out in no time at all. Rather I want
the user to get prompted with an 'Open File' dialog box so that they can
select the file that needs to be attached. After the file is selected, I
want to rename it to something standard like (ClientID + - +
UniqueRecordID),
then place it into a folder where all the docs area saved.
Suggestions??
Thanks for any help guys!! Love this Site
