Default Hyperlink

Question: How does your current data relate to the location of the PDF/ Link
DGN?

Do you have a file name or a path already stored in the database?

if this is so, then all you really need to do is create a hyperlink field
and run an update query with the path placed in it.

the Hyperlink field can consist of two items separated and ended by the #
octothorp or pound sign.

for example:
myfile.pdf#C:\My Documents\Some Folder\myfile.pdf#

depending on what data you have and the file location. For example, you
have a file name and all these files reside in the same folder:
MyHyperlinkfield = [FileName] & "#" & [PathToFile] & "#"
via an update query
