Scott Whetsell, A.S. - WVSP

I would like to be able to have the user click a button on the form which
will open a file in a specified directory which matches criteria on the
selected record. The target file will probably be a pdf file. I'm not
looking to import any data from the target file, just open it for review.

Thanks.

You can go:

application.FollowHyperlink "c:\path name.txt"

Any legal file extension will work (the above would open a text file, but it
works equal excel, word, or a pdfs file...
 
Very simple fix, yet very effective. Thanks!!
