Hello - can anyone help with how to save the path to a document into a
textbox in a record on a form?

I have successfully used the code found at
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm to browse the folders, but am not
able to save the document path (as a hyperlink to be accessed at any time
once saved) into the textbox i have created for the link in each record.

One recommendation in this discussion group was to use the code Me.Text46 =
TestIt() to link (?) the code in my module (ie the code from
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001) to the text box. This places the path
found during browsing into the text box, but once I exit, the link is not
saved. The user should be able to pull up the (word) document from the record.


Thank you very much!

Will do. I accidentally posted to the wrong newsgroup and then re-posted to
the right. Is there a way to take back a posting? If not, will be more
careful.
