Open hyperlink document with button?

[Rod C]

I have a table with a hyperlink field. The field contains links to Edocuments like Word, Excel, and JPGs.

I have a form with a text box who’s control source is the hyperlink field. When you click on the link in the text box the appropriate software boots and the document is displayed.

I would like this to happen with a button click rather than displaying the link path in the text box and clicking on it.

Can someone get me headed in the right direction?

Sure can. Point yourself at the 'search' link for this site and search all Forums for 'follow hyperlink button'. You should get about a dozen replies, most on this very problem. Choose the one that works best for you.

HTH,
