OPen app (eg explorer) with certain file??

[elziko]

I want a button that when pressed will open explorer showing a picture (jpg) who's filename is given inside a field on the form.

Any help?

Thanks

you can do this with a macro or with code
use the runapp command
for the command line use START command to call up whatever program or file you want to run.

Just use the following as the OnClick event for your button:

Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "c:\whereverIEis\IEXPLORE.EXE " & me.formfieldwithgraphicname
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)

Of course, replace the "Whatevers" with appropriate file paths.

That should do it.
