Hello everyone and happy New year.

Ii have a database running on Access 10.0, I am using the insert hyperlink dialog box (access by Ctrl K) to allow users to insert a hyperlink to a file (could be any sort of file), into a text box.

The problem I have is most of the files are held many directories above where the database is (we have a BAD directory policy, 10's of folders within folders) and it gets a little painful to get the user to go up so many levels, due to the hyperlink dialog opening in the "current folder" view, ie where the db is located.

Simple quest, or so I thought. Can I change the default directory "Current Folder" that the dialog box starts in ?

I have already tried chdir"c:\" but to no avail.......not that obvious then...

All help greatfully received...

Any help greatly received......

i guess its just a little too difficult...or impossible

I am genuinely surprised that there is no one to give me any advice. I guess that probably means that it is not possible to do.


Many Thanks for looking anyway
