Hiya, i work for an architectural company.
Within our database we have a project sheet, which gives alll the details regarding each of our jobs, from clients names, address to survey dates and when drawings are completed.
Each job we undertake we give a unique project ID, which is generated by the database. once the job is created we make a folder on our server and place all our CAD drawings in there.
what i would like to be able to do, is click on a button on the projectsheet form, which then uses the value of the project ID in the ProjectID field, and then use windows explorer to open that folder with the same projectID. is this possible?? ive managed to get a button to open a windows explorer window to our main jobs folder, but not to open the specified ProjectID folder.
Im sorry im totally new to all this stuff. so any help would be appreciated
thanx
keith
