Dynamically Hyperlink a textbox

[prao]

Hi All

I have text box and command button. When user hits the command button, it opens the dialog box, the user now select a word document file. Once the user selects the document file, I paste the same in the text box. Now I was the text box to be hyperlinked, so that when user clicks on the document file, it opens the file. I need to do it dynamically, means, after selecting the document file, the text box must be hyperlinked and the address will be the selected document file.

Thanks

Sounds like a lot of trouble for just opening a file that the user selects? I suggest that you use the API to open a file.

API: Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box

One day you will have a need for this one
API: BrowseFolder Dialog
