ACCDE file won't open Hyperlink

[aperez54]

I created an accde file -

The form has command buttons with hyperlinks to an executable file (captivate video files for my help files).

From the accdb format, I can click on the button and it follows the link no problem but when I create the accde version of the same accdb file, the on_click errors out on me "Unable to open the .exe file."

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I did the application.followhyperlink and it works now.

I still don't get why it won't work the other way though when I copy and paste the path on the hyperlink address on the control's property.

Ah well.

You can't do design change in an accde, can you ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV - You can't do design change in accde, that's right. I did it in the accdb, THEN convert to accde. But when I click on the button on accde I get the error.
