I've been trying to get this to work. Here is the code i'm using for my access database. Everything works the way I want it but I need "FPath" to come in as a working hyperlink. I know I need to someway place a "#" infront of the file path but can't figure out how to do that in coding. I'm not a pro at programming so any help is great.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
'list files to tables
Dim gCount As Long ' added by Crystal
Sub runListFiles()
'Usage example.
Dim strPath As String _
, strFileSpec As String _
, booIncludeSubfolders As Boolean
strPath = "\\nae-fs3im-46662\nae scan\Regulatory\Reels & Scan\2004"
strFileSpec = "*.pdf*"
booIncludeSubfolders = True
ListFilesToTable strPath, strFileSpec, booIncludeSubfolders
End Sub
'crystal modified parameter specification for strFileSpec by adding default value
