Need Help to create file explorer functionality in access

[mrkn]

Hi,
I need an advise how to create file explorer like functionality in ms access.

1 -I need to be able to browse files within specified directory and only. I can't alow users to browse any other directories.
2- I also need to be able upload (copy/paste) folders and files in that directory

I looked at different solutions and found a solution which might work on this foum link below.

The treeview working for browsing specific directory, but i need to enhance it to allow to copy files and folders in that directory.

Any advise would be helpful. I use MS ACCESS 2010 and not very proficient in programming.

Thanks a lot!

Hey there, welcome to the forum. I've used treeviews a fair bit and might be able to answer your questions. As far as copying files goes, how do you want to do it? Right-click shortcut menu? Drag and drop? Drag and drop is a fair bit harder.

Cheers,

you probably don't need a browser

just use code to read the files into a temp table, say, and use that

Hi there. You need to ask questions or describe specific problems you want to solve. I don't have time to write a comprehensive guide to treeviews, file systems, shell icons, and so on and so on.
Where are you stuck right now?
Hope this helps,
