I was wondering if there was a way to include a browse
button on an access form. If so how would you go about
doing this?


Example:
I want the user to be able to search for a specific file
by browsing.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Chad
 
Allen,
Thanks for the site, it helped a lot. One other thing I
need though along the same lines. Is there a way for a
user to browse and select a file, then have the address of
that file show up in a textbox? This may be able to be
done through the code yo ugave me but I am not sure.
Thanks again,
Chad
 
You can copy the string from the Windows FileOpen dialog (in the mvps.org
link) into your text box.

Alternatively, you coul1d use a Hyperlink field instead of a text field.
That way you can
RunCommand acCmdInsertHyperlink
If you put that into a command button, be sure to SetFocus to the Hyperlink
field first.

If you are not familiar with hyperlink fields, see:
