is this possible?
Hello All,
lets say that I made a form with bottons that open shortcuts on the local computer. is it possible to make it so that the user can choose what shortcut a certain botton on the form would open? and can he change that later to a different shortcut? this is without using vb at all, everything right from the form...? |

It's certainly possible, so long as "without using vb" means that the user doesn't need to use VB -- you, the form developer, would almost certainly need to use VB to make it work. Also, what do you mean by "shortcuts," and what would it mean to open one? -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

thanks for the replay Dirk...
for me, yes I will use vb to design the form. and what i ment be shortcuts and opening it is for example, the button would open internet explorer, or my computer...but lets say the user does not want the button to open my computer, he would rather have it open my documents...is there a way for him to change that right from the form? |

I can only speak about Access here, and you said earlier that you were really talking about VB.Net. For Access, I would consider storing the shortcuts as hyperlink fields in a table, one per record, with a primary key field that would associate each hyperlink with a button on the form. I'd use the RunCommand acCmdEditHyperlink method to allow the user to edit the hyperlinks in this table. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |
