Command button to open folder
I'm working on an accident tracking database. Users input accident details
on a form, which automatically assigns a case number based upon date & time. They also create a folder on the computer to store pictures of the accident scene, and name the folder with the case number. Is it possible to have a command button on this form that would create a new folder and name it with the case number? Later, when a committee reviews the accidents, an overview is displayed on another form. Is it possible to place a command button on this form to open the folder with the same case number to view the pictures? Any help to simplify the input process would be appreciated. |

Take a look at the first two articles in the list at the following URL ... http://www.mvps.org/access/api/index.html The first shows how to call the Windows File Open/Save dialog box, the second shows how to call the Windows Browse for Folder dialog box. -- Brendan Reynolds |
