I have a database that does inventory I would like to now save my PO's and
License information on the server as files so I don't need to keep all the
paper. What I would like is a button that would open the folder assocated
with the Software ID (SWID).
The database is housed on a server 146.186.143.178\Pacseti\JASI
Inventory\JASI Inventory
And the files will be housed in the following directory
146.186.143.178\Pacseti\JASI Inventory\License\then the folder #'s 1, 2, 3,
etc....
 
You'll need to come up with a path for the folder you want to open. Once you
get that you should be able to use one of these three methods to open the
folder:

Shell "YourPathHere"

Application.Followhyperlink "YourPathHere"

or, my preffered method,

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0018.htm


These can be used to open a folder location or any file with a registered
executable.
