File paths

[Haynesey]

Just a query really.

We want to include a file path field in a form, but is there any way of being able to click in the field and search for the file using something similar such as Windows Explorer?

Thanks
Lee

hello lee,

try the attached - open and click browse files...

Hi, I have unzipped this but it says I do not have the correct permissions to open it.

Thanks

First, search this forum for problems with the Hatten font, which causes all sorts of licensing problems. At least a couple of articles will lead you to the MS Knowledge base regarding a way to make the Hatten font licensing problem shut up.

Second, in the form, you can set up a double-click routine that activates the common dialog box. Search the forum (again) for "Common Dialog" in order to find Pat Hartman's post on how to use the standard windows File Open dialog box.
