Table of links to documents (Word, Excel, PDF, etc)

[bsltang]

Hello,

I'm trying to make something where for each client, each one has many documents like Word documents, and then have Windows explorer display the containing folder or, even better, open the document itself. All this from the client's form.

Whats the best approach for this? I've looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb225071.aspx which describes hyperlinks which seems about right.

I need to be able to add and remove links, so I can't just hard code into one command button.

Hi

I have done the same in the past where I have stored the path to a document and then opened them using the default shell open.
To det the path use a Common Dialog Control
To Open the docs - I think , its been years - use the shell open

Hyperlinks did not work for me - just look and feel etc

Are you going to use this on one pc ? Network drive ? etc

Hello,

I'm not very sure, I think maybe both.

So how did you store the paths? In a table?
