Opening an image from its location

[lessthanme5]

Hi,

I have been trying to get an image to open from its location.... but it keeps trying to open "C:\C:\example.bmp" instead of "C:\example.bmp" does anyone know how to take out the first directory location tag automatically?

Any help will be great!

Thanks.

Not sure how you are storing the location "string" of the files.

Check out my Browse [Find a directory or file] sample on how to open a file using the ShellExecute method and also how to "parse" out the location string values.

Searching the forum is a great way to discover and learn the answers to your Access programming questions.
