I am writing a programme to aid quality assurance in our office. It serves as a database for all communications, incoming & outgoing and generates unique references for documents.
At the moment I use getopenfile to allow the users to pick the file they refer to, e.g their letter, or their email attachment and the path is then passed to a label on the userform and then written to the 'database' as text.
Is there any way that I can emulate the small icon that appears in outlook when one selects an attachment, but it just act as a shortcut to the file ?
I ask as if the user picks say 10 files that were attached to his or her email the text could get a little unwieldy
Excuse me if this is a stupid question but I've only been at this vb lark for about 4 days !
Thanks
