Opening windows explorer from a form 1

[Handford]

I have a database which lists events. Each event has a folder on the network drive associated with it. I was wanting to make it possible to have a button on the form which links the user to a windows explorer view of the required folder.

I have put in a text field (called "Folder Address") which takes the path to the required folder. I have also made a button called "OpenFolder".

However I can' make this button open the folder.

Please can you help.

You may try this in the Click event procedure of the button called "OpenFolder":
Application.FollowHyperlink Me![Folder Address]

Hope This Helps, PH.
