Switchboard Macro problem - Urgent!

Ben,

I saw your earlier post on the topic. If you don't get a reply to a
newsgroup post, it normally means that nobody knows the answer, or else
you haven't asked the question in a way that enables people to
understand what you are doing. Therefore, if you decide to ask again,
it is better to try and re-phrase it. In this case, I haven't been able
to imagine the context in which anyone would use an expression like
=FollowHyperlink("http://www.cnn.com")
 
Steve,
I am using the FollowHyperlink macro on a switchboard. I have a switchboard
that is not just a normal switchboard with buttons. You mouse over items
then click the item to open a form. What I want the FollowHyperlink to do is
open a link to a file that is somewhere on my machine. So if I have a link
for a word document, then in the switchboard I'll see the item listed, then
I'll click on it, and it'll load it.

That make sense?

Ben
 
Ben,

Sorry to be thick here. As far as I know, there is no such animal as a
"FollowHyperlink macro", and I do not know what you are referring to as
an "item", so I am having difficulty imagining what you have there.

However, I did test here by putting a label on a form, and entered a
FollowHyperlink function in the On Click event property of the label,
like this:
=FollowHyperlink("C:\Data\test.xls")
.... and I found that clicking on the form did open the file in Excel,
and only one copy, so could not replicate your problem of opening twice.
